Performance of Two Stripper Cotton Cultivars Planted at Three Ultra-narrow Row Spacings
By
Muhammad Naveed Arshad
on
Aug 3, 2018
ABSTRACT Ultra-narrow cotton creates new possibilities for shortening the growing season of cotton thus decreasing costs of production inputs, but the optimum row spacing for ultra-narrow planting is still under investigation. The experiment was conducted at the Texas A&M University Agricultural Research and Extension Centre in Uvalde, Texas,...

Jul 31, 2018
ABSTRACT At the Gezira Research Station, Wad Medani, Sudan, a field study was initiated in 1996 to determine the response of morphologically contrasting upland cotton cultivars to different row widths and within-row spacing. Sudac-K is a newly synthesized okra-leaf type, resistant to whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.) and is claimed to produce less s...

Jul 31, 2018
ABSTRACT Experiments were conducted at Serere Agricultural and Animal Production Research Institute (SAARI) in 1996 and 1997 to determine the time of initiation and number of cultivations to optimise returns and the cost of weed control. Weeding was started either early (30 days after planting, (dap)) or late (45 dap). In both cases, plots were cu...

ABSTRACT Important weather parameters and their impact on cotton productivity were investigated in three main regions of Greek cotton production. Daily values of air temperature, solar radiation and precipitation for the period 1994-1997 were used, recorded on data loggers in fully automatic meteorological stations installed in the three study are...
Physiological Effects on Cotton Plant Sown under Plastic Mulch

Jul 31, 2018
ABSTRACT The physiology of the cotton plant was studied in cotton sown under plastic. This practice is widespread among cotton growers in the Guadalquivir River Valley (SW Spain). Field experiments were conducted in 1993, 1994 and 1995 at Alcalá del Rio (Seville). In one experiment, cotton was sown on two dates in March. This is very early and is...
Mechanized Picking of Cotton Cultivated in Narrow Rows in Greece
By

on
Jul 31, 2018
ABSTRACT The early cotton picker, adjusted to pick at 1 metre spacing, imposed this spacing on the traditional cotton cultivation system. Subsequent experimental results proved the superiority of narrower row spacing in many cases. Accordingly, in the 1980’s, many farm machinery companies in the USA started to convert existing cotton pickers to pi...
Application of Soil Monitoring, Benchmarking and Crop Simulation in Commercial Dryland Cotton Management

ABSTRACT Many agronomic decisions involve risk as many of the factors involved are unknown or uncertain (e.g. rainfall). History can often serve as our best guide to the potential risks and benefits of a particular strategy. The use of crop simulation models is a powerful, and often the only, way to address such issues. Participatory research appr...

ABSTRACT Cotton is the main cash crop of temperate regions in Punjab, Pakistan, accounting for 60% of total foreign exchange earnings and providing above 55% of total employment. Cotton-fallow-cotton and cotton-wheat-cotton are traditional rotations of the region. Introduction of maize, sunflower and soybean has necessitated the development of new...
