Plant topping effects on growth, yield, and earliness of field-grown cotton as mediated by plant density and ecological conditions

Jianlong Dai et al.

Summary: The study found that chemical topping is a promising alternative to traditional manual topping under moderate or high cotton plant density. Manual topping can increase seed cotton yield and earliness effectively in all tested plant densities and sites. However, the effect of chemical topping on yield varies under different plant densities.

One-off basal application of nitrogen fertilizer increases the biological yield but not the economic yield of cotton in moderate fertility soil

Anda Liu et al.

Summary: One-off basal application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer in cotton does not increase cotton yield in moderate fertility soil in the Yellow River valley. Although one-off basal application of N fertilizer can increase cotton biomass and total N uptake, it primarily occurs in vegetative organs, leading to reductions in the harvest index and N yield efficiency index. Therefore, this practice should not be encouraged in the area or similar ecological environments.

Plant pruning affects photosynthesis and photoassimilate partitioning in relation to the yield formation of field-grown cotton

Junjun Nie et al.

Summary: Plant pruning significantly affects cotton yield, canopy photosynthesis, and photoassimilate partitioning, with different pruning modes leading to varied outcomes. Chemical topping achieves comparable yields to manual topping, but the mechanism of yield increase differs in terms of photosynthetic production and assimilate partitioning.

Cotton boll distribution: A review

Irish Lorraine B. Pabuayon et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the environmental factors affecting boll production and distribution, reviews methods of measuring and analyzing boll distribution, and discusses the comparative advantages and drawbacks of these methods. By combining the positive elements in the different studies, significant progress can still be made in the area of boll distribution measurement.
