Cotton Radiation Use Efficiency Response to Plant Growth Regulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are a common and widely used practice in cotton production for controlling plant growth, increasing yield, and improving management efficiency. Most of the PGRs used have an effect on plant growth, both vegetative and reproductive, and dry matter partitioning. However, there have been no reports of effects of PGRs on radiation use efficiency (RUE). It is logical to assume that any chemical that affects canopy dynamics will change the RUE of the crop. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of PGRs on the RUE of cotton.

The Use of Plant Growth Regulators and Other Additives in Cotton Production
The cotton plant is a perennial with an indeterminate growth habit, and reputed to have the most complex growth habit of all major row crops. Furthermore, it is very responsive to management and changes in the environments and responds to any perturbations in its environment with a dynamic growth response that is often unpredictable. Cotton producers and researchers have, therefore, used plant ...
متن کاملCosts of Lygus herbivory on cotton associated with farmer decision-making: an ecoinformatics approach.
Because the farmer is typically excluded from the experimental research setting, experimental research may face challenges in evaluating pest management tactics whose costs and benefits hinge on farmer decision-making. In these cases an ecoinformatics approach, in which observational data collected from the commercial farming setting are "mined" to quantify both biological variables and farmer ...
متن کاملEffect of the Plant Growth Regulator BM86 on Seed-Set Efficiency and Yield of Cotton
The plant growth regulator BM was formulated to stimulate seed production and fruit growth. In this study, it was hypothesized that the addition of BM would increase levels of polyamines for seed induction and have a direct benefit of improving fertilization and seed set in cotton. This benefit may enhance yield under extreme environmental conditions when endogenous polyamines content is reduced.

Naturally occurring polyamines in plants have been implicated in cell division, metabolic activity, floral initiation, and fruit development. The plant growth regulator BM was formulated to stimulate seed production and fruit growth. In this study, it was hypothesized that the addition of BM would increase levels of polyamines for seed induction and have a direct benefit of improving fertilizat...
