Effects of Bacillus cereus on Cotton Growth and Yield and the Develolpment of PGR-IV Plus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in cotton to control growth and enhance yield is a widely used practice. The most commonly used PGR to control vegetative growth is Pix® (mepiquat chloride). Recently, the bacterium Bacillus cereus was added to Pix to form Pix Plus, a new and improved version of Pix. Research results have shown that Pix Plus has a small yield advantage over Pix while still costing the same. In subsequent research, Bacillus cereues has also been added to PGR IV.
