Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Cotton plants were taller as planting dates were delayed.
- Intervention effect Cotton produced fewer flowers as planting dates were delayed.
- Intervention effect Cotton produced smaller bolls as planting dates were delayed.
- Intervention effect Cotton produced less lint as planting dates were delayed.
- Intervention effect Most boll components of cotton were adversely affected by delayed planting dates.
- Intervention effect Most adverse effects of delayed planting on cotton were mitigated by the mepiquat chloride treatment.
- Association Mepiquat chloride and planting date interacted for cotton plant height and flower production.
- Association Mepiquat chloride and planting date interacted for cotton lint yield and seed index.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride caused a 4.5% reduction in lint yield from the early planted cotton plots.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased yield by 5.4% in the optimum planting of cotton.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased yield by 12.7% in the late planting of cotton.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased cotton boll weight in all plantings.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride increased cotton flower production only in the late planting.
- Intervention effect Seed index of cotton was increased in all MC-treated plots from each of the three plantings.
- Intervention effect Lint percentage of cotton was reduced in all MC-treated plots from each of the three plantings.
- Intervention effect Plants in the MC intermediate planting averaged 0.25 less height than control plots; statistically significant.
- Intervention effect Plants in the MC late planting averaged 0.30 less height than control plots; statistically significant.
- Recommendation MC application would be most beneficial in late-planted cotton, which tends to produce more vegetative growth.
- Association More cotton parameters were affected by chemical treatment and planting date than by cultivars.
