J. C. Arnold, D. B. Reynolds, K. M. Bloodworth and S.L. File


 
ABSTRACT

Field studies were conducted at the R.R. Foil Plant Sciences Research Center at Mississippi State University in 1998 and 1999 to compare new harvest aids with current industry standards. In the first experiment, 1, 2, and 3 pts/A Flair (TD-2335) was tank mixed with 1 pt/A Folex (tribufos) and was compared to 1 pt/A Folex + 1.33 pts/A Prep (ethephon). Single and sequential applications of 0.0714 oz/A CGA-248757 were compared to 1 pt/A Folex + 1.33 pts/A Prep in a second experiment. The third experiment compared 1, 1.33, and 1.5 lbs/A Finish (ethephon + cyclanilide), 1.0 lb/A Finish + 0.0033 lb/A Dropp with 1.75 qts/A Cottonquick (ethephon + 1-aminomethanamide dihydrogen tetraoxo sulfate) and 0.0033 lb/A Dropp (thidiazuron). The fourth experiment compared 0.0428, 0.0571, and 0.0714 oz/A ET-751, sequential applications of 0.0571 oz/A ET-751, 0.0571 oz/A ET-751 + 5.995 oz/A Dropp or 1.0 pt /A Prep compared to 0.37 pts/A DEF 6 + 1.0 pt/A Prep.
