| dc.description.abstract | Three field experiments were conducted in 1990 in Arizona to evaluate cotton crop response to several treatment regimes of multiple applications of PIX (an anti-gibberellic acid plant growth regulator). Treatment regimes used in 1990 employed higher rates of PIX/acre/application and extended times of applications later into the fruiting cycle than earlier experiments in 1988 and 1989. Similar to earlier experiments, results in 1990 demonstrated the ability of some PIX treatments to significantly reduce plant height, relative to the untreated check treatments. The 1990 cotton production season in Arizona consisted of conditions which led to excessive rates of fruit loss and abortion, and somewhat vegetative plants. Final fruit retention levels of 30 to 50% were realized in the three 1990 experiments after a period of fruit loss through July and August. Lint yield results revealed significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) between several selected treatments at only one of the locations in 1990. | |
