e0“Times of foliar application with bentonite gave significant effect on nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, chlorophyll (a), (b), total chlorophyll and carotenoids concentrations in cotton leaves, in favor of foliar application with bentonite three times (at squaring stage, at flowering initiation and at the top of flowering)”

Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect A rate of 3kg bentonite per fed significantly increased leaf nutrient and pigment concentrations compared with other rates.
- Intervention effect The interaction of bentonite timing and rate did not affect leaf N, P and K concentrations.
- Intervention effect Application timing did not affect cotton height or fruiting branch number in either season.
- Intervention effect Bentonite at 2kg/fed increased cotton height and fruiting branch number relative to 4kg/fed.
- Intervention effect In the first season, three sprays of 2kg/fed gave the highest cotton height and branch values, while three sprays of 4kg/fed gave the lowest.
- Intervention effect Application timing did not significantly affect cotton earliness traits in either season.
- Intervention effect Bentonite at 2 or 3kg/fed increased flower number, boll number and boll setting relative to 4kg/fed and control.
- Intervention effect Bentonite at 2 or 3kg/fed decreased boll shedding relative to 4kg/fed and control.
- Intervention effect The timing and rate interaction favored 2 or 3kg/fed applied two or three times for flowering, boll number and setting.
- Intervention effect The timing and rate interaction gave the lowest boll shedding with 2 or 3kg/fed applied two or three times.
- Intervention effect Spraying at squaring and flowering initiation, or adding top flowering, increased boll weight and seed cotton yield relative to later two sprays.
- Intervention effect Application timing did not affect seed index or lint percentage.
- Intervention effect Applying 2 or 3 kg bentonite per fed increased boll weight, open boll number, seed index and seed cotton yield over control and 4kg/fed.
- Intervention effect Bentonite timing and rate interacted for boll weight, open boll number and seed cotton yield, favoring 2 or 3kg/fed at early two or three timings.
- Intervention effect Timing and rate interaction did not affect seed index or lint percentage.
- Intervention effect Timing, rate and their interaction had no significant effect on Pressley index or micronaire reading.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 3kg bentonite per fed twice at squaring and flowering initiation for Giza 86 cotton at El-Gemmeiza.
