Does sample size of leaf osmotic potential affect its relationship with cotton yield? Open
Leaf osmotic potential at full turgor ( π 0 ) has been used frequently to indicate turgor loss point of plant leaves. However, even a rapid measurement of π 0 using osmometry is time-consuming, if numerous leaf samples need to be measured.…

Interventions for weed seed management in cotton around the harvest time Open
Late-season escapes of Palmer amaranth and waterhemp (both are Amaranthus species) pose a significant challenge in cotton production due to their high fecundity, herbicide resistance, and ability to replenish the weed seedbank at harvest. …

Herbicide programs, cropping sequences, and tillage-types: a systems approach for managing Amaranthus palmeri in dicamba-resistant cotton Open
Herbicide-resistant Amaranthus palmeri poses a significant threat to cotton production in the US. Tillage, cover crops, crop rotations, and dicamba-based herbicide programs can individually provide effective control of A. palmeri , but the…

Rapid measurement and statistical ranking of leaf drought tolerance capacity in cotton Open
Recent progress in ecological remote sensing calls for a more rapid measurement and a closer assessment of crop drought tolerance traits under field conditions. This study addresses three main questions: (1) If leaf dry matter content (LDM…
