The Effects of PIX Application Timing on Upland Cotton Lint Yield and Growth and Development Parameters

Four commercial scale field studies were conducted in 1991 and 1992 to further evaluate Upland cotton yield and development responses to PIX application timing as a function of cotton growth stage. Treatments imposed in both years intended to further clarify some response trends observed in previous years of field studies. Treatments were all at the maximum label rate of one and one half pints with application timing the main variable. Timing was based on heat unit accumulation and resultant growth stage since date of planting. Two of the four studies resulted in significant lint yield increase of roughly one hundred pounds across all PIX treatments in contrast to the untreated check. The two studies which resulted in lint yield increases both had height:node ratio measurements in excess (vegetative) of previously defined guidelines.
