Effects of Green-SOL PGRs on the Physiology and Yield of Cotton 2000-2001

S.E. Allred, C.E. Schauble, Alan Robinett and William Hovey


ABSTRACT

SUL-15 PLUS, GREEN-SOL 48, and GREEN-SOL 70 are EPA registered products of GREEN-SOL Inc. headquartered in Ozark, Alabama. SUL-15 PLUS contains Gibberellic Acid (GA3), GREEN-SOL 70 contains Kinetin [N-(2-Furanyl methyl)- 1-H-Purin-6-amine], and GREEN-SOL 48 contains a combination of both GA3 and Kinetin. GA3 is used to create a healthier plant and the Kinetin to stimulate the reproduction of the plant. Tests were conducted in several different formats in an attempt to identify various methods and times of application these products should be used to enhance yields. Most of the tests included the use of mepiquat chloride (MC) along with the GREEN-SOL products. All of the tests were in field plots where the crops were grown under realistic field conditions. This was done to determine whether a farmer and/or consultant could use the products easily with positive results. The farmer and/or consultant determined the fertility program, weed management program, and pest management program. The plant growth regulator program used followed the locally accepted production practices. The normal consultant plant growth regulator program was used as the control. The GREEN- SOL products were added to that program in various ways to evaluate the GREEN-SOL products. All of these tests resulted in increases in yield of lint per acre.
