A regional study consisting of replicated, small plot tests in eight states was initiated to examine the effects of harpinab (ProActTM) on cotton growth and yield. Tests were conducted in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas. Each test was conducted by an independent University or Extension scientist. ProAct was applied one or two times to the foliage of DP 444 BG/RR or DP 555 BG/RR cotton. Treatment timings included the two to four leaf stage, eight-leaf stage, and/or first bloom. All plants were grown in replicated field trials. Plant growth and maturity measurements as well as yield were recorded.
