Evaluation of Cotton Plant Response to Plant Plus, Foliar plus and Pix Applications Alone and in Combination Using the Plant Mapping Technique

James R. Brownell and John Armanino


 
ABSTRACT

Plant mapping was used to evaluate the position of harvestable bolls on cotton plants in replicated trials to study the effect of Plant Plus, Foliar Plus and PIX alone and in combined treatments. Plant mapping provided a detailed analysis of internode length, mature boll positions and overall plant height, so that the effects of the interactions between treatments could be assessed. Early indications are that PIX applications shortened internodes while treatments that contained PIX in combination with the Plus materials resulted in overall plant heights intermediate between the control and PIX alone. Plant mapping analysis indicated the combination treatments retained additional bolls in lower and higher node positions as compared to either PIX alone or the untreated control.
