Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Recommended nitrogen increased cotton lint and seed yield in all three years.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen rates reduced cotton lint and seed yield in years two and three.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride did not significantly change cotton lint yield, seed yield or their ratio.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen rates increased cotton plant height by up to 3.2 inches.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride reduced cotton height by as much as 5.7 inches.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen rates reduced first harvest percentage by up to 17.4%.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer generally reduced lint percentages.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride did not affect lint percentages.
- Intervention effect Excess nitrogen increased fiber grayness in one year.
- Intervention effect Excess nitrogen increased fiber yellowness in another year.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased fiber strength by 3.8% in one year.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased fiber elongation in one year.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased fiber grayness in one year.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased leaf index in one year.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride did not significantly affect micronaire, length, uniformity or yellowness.
- Observation No significant nitrogen by mepiquat chloride rate interaction was detected.
- Recommendation The authors judged the recommended nitrogen rate economically justified and higher rates unjustified.
