ABSTRACT

Six studies were conducted for a three-year duration (2001, 2002, 2003) in Burleson County, Texas, to evaluate the plant growth stimulator Chaperone®, for its effects on cotton lint production. Numerical increases for lint yield occurred in all six studies for plots treated with Chaperone® over an untreated control. Combining all studies over years resulted in a significant (12 %) increase for 20 oz/A over the untreated control (UTC). The 10 oz/A treatment also was significantly higher (7.5 %) than the UTC. No significant differences were observed at the 5 oz/A rate, although a (3.4 %) numerical increase was observed.
