Boll Retention as Influenced by In-Furrow, Preplant Asset RTU (6-20-5) and Foliar Applications of Empower

B. D. Bassett


 
ABSTRACT

Asset RTU improved germination and emergence under the adverse planting conditions of 1998, an El' Nino year. Root samples taken at 1st bloom from Asset RTU treatments demonstrated increased root length counts of 12% and 13% above the Untreated Control in 1997 and 98, respectively. Final plant map data indicated a higher percentage of cotton bolls set in the 1st fruiting position within the Asset RTU treatments compared to the controls. Asset RTU treatments out yielded the Untreated Control by 1% and 7% in 1997 and 98 respectively.

The results from the foliar application of Empower were inconclusive and varied based on the year of study.
