Effect of cycocel on the growth, abscission and yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Abstract

A large number of flower buds, flowers and premature bolls of cotton are shed without contributing to seed-cotton yield. Abscission may be affected by environmental factors. It may, therefore, be possible to reduce it by modifying the micro-environment within the crop canopy.

Effect of Various Plant Growth Regulators on Growth and Yield of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)

“…These results are similar to that of Eid and Al-Abdel (1985) and Dhillon et al, (1992). However, MC treatments significantly reduced the leaf area index as compared to NAA concentrations.…”
