This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increased cost of planting transgenic or stacked gene cotton cultivars has stimulated interest in determining the optimal planting density for commercial production. If seeding rates can be reduced without adversely affecting lint yield and fiber quality, producers could regulate initial inputs by fluctuating seeding rates. However, manipulating plant density per unit area can affect the growth and development of the crop. This altered growth throughout the season could potentially affect fiber quality. Fiber properties, which dictate price discounts, are determined by maturity, diameter and length, as well as by physiological activity at the cellular level. These fiber properties are also affected by genetics and environmental conditions, which ultimately can impact lint production as well as the location of bolls set throughout theplant and the maturation period. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of plant density (including high, ideal and low densities) on growth and development of transgenic cotton cultivars. Field experiments were conducted in 2003 and 2004 at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in Burleson County, Texas to assess the effects of plant density on lint yield and fiber quality. Experimental design was a spit-plot design with four replications of three cultivars (SG 215 BG/RR, DP 555 BG/RR, ST 4892BG/RR) in densities ranging from 74 to 222 thousand plants hectare−1. Plant density had no significant effect on lint yield in 2003 or 2004. However, low plant density treatments contained significantly more bolls plant−1 as a result of the plant's compensatory ability to produce the same number of bolls in a given area. These low density treatments also produced more vegetative biomass plant−1. Due to lower boll numbers and lower ginout percentage, ST 4892 produced the lowest lint yield each year. Lint quality was not significantly affected by density or cultivar treatments either year. However, in 2003 micronaire values were within the discount ranges for ST 4892, and the two lowest density treatments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the recent developments in cotton production and processing, including a number of genetic approaches, such as GM cotton for pest resistance, which have been hotly debated in recent decades. In the era of climate change, cotton is facing diverse abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, toxic metals and environmental pollutants. As such, scientists are developing stress-tolerant cultivars using agronomic, genetic and molecular approaches. Gathering papers on these developments, this timely book is a valuable resource for a wide audience, including plant scientists, agronomists, soil scientists, botanists, environmental scientists and extention workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cotton production today is not to be undertaken frivolously if one expects to profit by its production. If cotton production is to be sustainable and produced profitably, it is essential to be knowledgeable about the growth and development of the cotton plant and in the adaptation of cultivars to the region as well as the technology available. In addition, those individuals involved in growing cotton should be familiar with the use of management aids to know the most profitable time to irrigate, apply plant growth regulators, herbicides, foliar fertilizers, insecticides, defoliants, etc. The chapters in this book were assembled to provide those dealing with the production of cotton with the basic knowledge of the physiology of the plant required to manage the cotton crop in a profitable manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crop Physiology: Case Histories of Major Crops updates the physiology of broad-acre crops with a focus on the genetic, environmental and management drivers of development, capture and efficiency in the use of radiation, water and nutrients, the formation of yield and aspects of quality. These physiological process are presented in a double context of challenges and solutions. The challenges to increase plant-based food, fodder, fiber and energy against the backdrop of population increase, climate change, dietary choices and declining public funding for research and development in agriculture are unprecedented and urgent. The proximal technological solutions to these challenges are genetic improvement and agronomy. Hence, the premise of the book is that crop physiology is most valuable when it engages meaningfully with breeding and agronomy. With contributions from 92 leading scientists from around the world, each chapter deals with a crop: maize, rice, wheat, barley, sorghum and oat; quinoa; soybean, field pea, chickpea, peanut, common bean, lentil, lupin and faba bean; sunflower and canola; potato, cassava, sugar beet and sugarcane; and cotton. A crop-based approach to crop physiology in a G x E x M context Captures the perspectives of global experts on 22 crops
