Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride did not affect cotton yield regardless of application system when applied at 9 to 10 nodes and/or early bloom.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride applied with a wick at 9 to 10 nodes reduced cotton plant height more than a spray application.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride reduced height-to-node ratio, main-stem nodes and nodes above white flower irrespective of delivery system.
- Intervention effect Setting the wick to touch the top 8 cm of cotton plants reduced yield compared with a spray in one of six environments.
- Intervention effect Wicking the top 8 cm and the top 24 cm of cotton gave no difference in yield.
- Association Reduced plant height is the major difference between wick and spray delivery systems in cotton.
- Recommendation The wick should be set to treat only the top 8 cm of cotton plants.
