Effects of Cultivar, Irrigation Management, and PGR Strategy on Cotton Yield and Maturity

This presentation will address the effects of cultivar, irrigation management, and PGR strategy on maturity and yield. Specifically, the current study assessed three cultivars with different growth characteristics, three different irrigation treatments (rainfed, recommended irrigation strategy (100% ET), and over-irrigated (125%)), and three different PGR treatments (aggressive, moderate, and untreated). Maturity was assessed by quantifying NAWF over time, and determining the number of days to cutout for each plot. Lint yield data will also be presented for each plot.
