| Popis: | Yield-enhancing compounds are among the many inputs used in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production systems across the United States Cotton Belt. Some of these products, however, have not been adequately tested in field settings and their impact on cotton yield and quality is unknown. Messenger, marketed by the Eden Bioscience Corporation (Bothell, WA), is a new product containing a protein that may stimulate the hypersensitive response of higher plants, resulting in increased yields. The objective of our investigation was to determine if Messenger applications would result in enhanced cotton crop maturity, lint yield or fiber quality. Messenger studies were conducted in Colquitt, Grady, and Tift Counties in South Georgia and at the University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station (UGA-CPES) in Tifton in 2000. Plot size at each location ranged from 1.2 ha (Grady County) to 0.01 ha (UGA-CPES). Messenger was applied as a foliar treatment at several stages of crop development at each location with ei... |
