Comparison of Various Plant Growth Regulators on Pima S-7 Cotton Yields

Abstract

All plant growth regulators and nutritional products applied to Pima S-7 cotton during bloom economically increased lint yields, with increases ranging from 80 - 261 lbs. /acre. Greatest increase was noted with Boll-Set Plus, a product that contains raised levels of calcium and zinc. Cytokin and Boll -Set Plus significantly increased yields at one location. A lint yield increase of approximately 40 lbs/acre was noted when Tech-Flo Alpha was added to Cytokin. A single application of Foliar Triggrr resulted in equal yields as two applications of the Cytokin plus Tech-Flo Alpha.
