ABSTRACT

Given the results of the 2000 and 2001 image-based PGR application experiments in Mississippi, ITD wished to attempt to replicate these results in a PGR experiment conducted in a different cotton production region. The San Joaquin Valley of California was chosen as the site to conduct a PGR experiment for 2002. The San Joaquin Valley was chosen because of its different growing conditions from Mississippi, as well as the availability of a cooperating producer (Ted Sheely) and concurrent collaborative research on-going by USDA and University of California researchers at the farm.
