Book excerpt: Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) can be a difficult crop to manage due to the intermediate growth habits, tropical origins, and perennial nature. Because cotton is produced as an annual in North Carolina, it is highly important to promote maximum early season growth, stimulate early flowering, and at the same time prevent excessive vegetative growth, all which are important to harvest quality cotton. The use of several management practices may be applied to promote earliness, and achieve high yields. While environmental conditions can generally not be controlled, they can be altered thorough tillage methods, plant growth regulator use, and desirable fertilization programs, to manipulate cotton vegetative and reproductive growth to promote high yields. Three studies were conducted to observe fertilization strategies for cotton production in North Carolina. One study was conducted in North Carolina and Virginia during 2005 and 2006 to determine effects of increased N fertilization rates and increased plant growth regulator rates on a modern cultivar. The second study were conducted in North Carolina in 2006 and 2007 to observe the effects of effects of starter fertilizer in conventional, stripÃØâ'ƠÂ till (ST) and noÃØâ'ƠÂ till (NT) systems on growth, quality and yield of cotton. The third study was conducted in North Carolina in 2006 and 2007 to determine optimal N placement methods in stripÃØâ'ƠÂ till (ST) and noÃØâ'ƠÂ till (NT) systems based on growth, fiber quality, and yield of cotton. Data from the first study showed that N rate affected yield in Virginia in both years and in North Carolina during 2006. However, in 2005 N did not affect yield. In North Carolina 2006 the response to N was quadratic, while in the Virginia locations the response to N was linear, however, further increase in N above 112 kg N haÃØâ'ƠÂ 1 was not significant. Overall the use of a plant growth regulator did not alter the optimum N rate. For the second starter fertilizer did not have.

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.

Download or read book Plant Nutrition from Genetic Engineering to Field Practice written by J. Barrow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Nutrition - From Genetic Engineering to Field Practice, the 12th International Colloquium on Plant Nutrition, is the latest in a series which began in 1954. Early meetings were mainly concerned with the practical problems of soil fertility, with soil assessment, fertilizer requirements and methods of analysis. As the colloquia have progressed, the emphasis has slowly changed. The practical problems are still important, but there is increasing emphasis on plant physiology, plant biochemistry, membrane biochemistry, and even on the chemistry of genes which control the proteins which transfer nutrient ions to the inside of cells. The meetings therefore provide a valuable opportunity for each half of the science of plant nutrition to interact with, and learn from the other half. This volume begins with five papers which review current knowledge in important fields: the rhizosphere, molecular biology, electron microscopy, location and function of elements in vivo, and modelling nutrient responses in the field. These themes are continued in groups of shorter papers which follow. In addition, there are sections on nutrient dynamics and partitioning, diagnostic techniques, plant survival strategies, mycorrhizas, and on nutrients such as P, N, S, K, Ca, Mg, and micronutrients. A large section is devoted specifically to boron - reflecting the considerable current interest in this element. In total there are 177 refereed papers providing both a broad overview and a detailed picture of the latest developments in pure and applied plant nutrition.
