The Effects of Residual Herbicide Injury and Seed Quality on Cotton Growth, Development and Yield

Cotton seed quality is highly correlated to stand establishment and early season seedling vigor, especially when planting in suboptimal or cool conditions. Additionally, other stresses may further influence stand establishment and vigor, such as potential injury from residual pre-emergence herbicides. Field experiments were initiated in 2020 in North Carolina to investigate the additive effect or interactions between seed quality and residual herbicides on growth, development, and yield of cotton.
