Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Defoliation applied before the first flower buds appeared did not change cotton yield.
- Intervention effect Up to three light tip damage events or one heavy damage event had no effect on cotton yield.
- Intervention effect Up to three light tip damage events or one heavy damage event had only a slight effect on cotton crop maturity.
- Intervention effect Heavy early fruit loss (100% fruit removal from the first four fruiting branches) did not affect cotton yield.
- Intervention effect Heavy early fruit loss caused a delay in cotton maturity of about 7 d.
- Method / resource Equations relating damage type, intensity and repetition to cotton yield and maturity were developed and used to define tentative damage thresholds for IPM.
