Effect of Pix on Narrow Row (30") Cotton

B.L. Weir, R. Vargas, A. George, and D. Wiley


 
ABSTRACT

Five replicated tests were conducted comparing four rates of Pix on 30" cotton in farmers' fields in the San Joaquin Valley. Treatments were: None, 0.5 pts., 0.75 pts. and 1.00 pts. Pix per acre. The plot design was Randomized Complete Block with treatments replicated four times. Acala SJ-2 cotton was planted to all tests and Pix was applied either by air or ground at or shortly after timing specified on the Pix label.

A reduction in plant height was measured at every location with an average of the five tests being about 5 inches. Every comparison of Pix vs. no Pix on cotton grown on 30" rows gave an increase in yield. There was no significant difference at the 5% level, but trends were always the same.
