Abstract

Mepiquat chloride, a plant growth regulator suppressed vegetative growth in cotton by reducing plant height. Bolls plant−1, boll weight, seed cotton yield and fibre strength were significantly higher in mepiquat chloride spray compared to control. The findings of present study show that 50 ppm mepiquat chloride after flowering with 60 kg N ha−1 can be adopted for higher production of cotton.
