Abstract
Nitrogen fertility is an important component of irrigated, short-season cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production and is necessary to achieve optimum yield. Excessive N, however, almost invariably results in decreased yield and quality of cotton lint and seed. Use of mepiquat chloride (MC) (N,N-dimethylpiperidinium chloride) for remediation of the detrimental effects of excessive N in cotton has been suggested. A field experiment was conducted for 3 yr to determine if MC applied at selected rates on traditionally nonrank, irrigated, short-season cotton could influence cotton yield, related agronomic characteristics, and fiber properties at different N fertilizer rates [...]
