We established three mepiquat regimes (none, light, aggressive) to create different fruiting patterns and plant structure.  After 4 weeks of flowering, within the mepiquat programs we split the plots to allow normal flowering to proceed or artificially (by hand) removed blooms several times each week to prevent further boll production.  The goal was to evaluate the effects of limiting the duration of boll formation on fiber quality, particularly length uniformity and staple.  We harvested plots with a mechanical picker and by box picking.  Large samples we processed at the UGA Cotton Micro Gin.
