Vegetative growth in cotton has been controlled in recent years with a variety of plant growth regulators (PGRs), particularly mepiquat chloride. However, a new product “Stance”, developed by Bayer Cropscience, shows potential as a new PGR. This product is composed of mepiquat chloride, which is used in most cotton PGRs, and a new chemical, cyclanilide, a presumed auxin transport inhibitor. Mepiquat chloride reduces internode growth by inhibiting the production of gibberellic acid, the hormone responsible in part for internode elongation. Cyclanilide is a chemical that shares the characteristics of TIBA (2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid), a known auxin transport inhibitor (Pedersen et. al., 2001). Auxin is a hormone that is necessary to allow gibberellic acid to be metabolized from an inactive form (GA20) to an active form (GA1) (Ross et. al., 2003). The inhibition of auxin transport may not inhibit all GA biosynthesis within the plant, but it does reduce internode growth within the plant. The combination of these two chemicals offers a new method of controlling vegetative growth in cotton, and may offer a quicker response than just mepiquat chloride alone. It is believed that this product may have other physiological affects on cotton that might influence production and harvest methods, quality, and yield.
