- Intervention effect Ethephon at 0.50 lb AI/acre removed early-season squares.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 0.50 or 0.75 lb AI/acre delayed initiation of pink bollworm infestation.
- Intervention effect Ethephon reduced infested bolls on early-season fruiting branches.
- Intervention effect Ethephon generally did not affect yield, with an exception for the higher rate at one location.
- Intervention effect Higher ethephon rates reduced yield.
- Intervention effect Later accumulated flowering equalled or surpassed untreated controls after ethephon square removal.
