Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Early-square shade did not affect cotton growth and yield.
- Intervention effect Shade at flowering and boll development increased fruit abscission.
- Intervention effect Shade decreased specific leaf weight and dry matter accumulation.
- Intervention effect Shade decreased lint yield, fibre micronaire and strength.
- Intervention effect Flower-stage shade reduced 1993 lint yield 18%.
- Intervention effect Peak-flower shade reduced 1993 lint yield 34%.
- Intervention effect Boll-development shade reduced 1993 lint yield 52%.
- Intervention effect Flower-stage shade reduced 1994 lint yield 18%.
- Intervention effect Fruit dry weight fell most and leaf dry weight least under shade.
- Observation Boll number was the yield component most sensitive to shade.
- Intervention effect Shade during squaring and early flowering had little effect on boll weight.
- Intervention effect Shade during squaring and early flowering did not affect lint percentage.
- Intervention effect Boll-development shade decreased boll retention and weight.
- Intervention effect Other fibre properties were unaffected by shade.
