Never heard of anything except cotton. This only causes more pods to open. It doesn't grow more cotton.

2017 Cotton Information
12. COTTON DEFOLIATION
Keith Edmisten
Guy Collins
Crop Science Extension Specialists—Cotton
Defoliation is the application of chemicals to encourage or force cotton leaves to drop from the
plant in order to harvest the crop in a timely manner. Defoliation is a balancing act between
killing the leaves and not affecting the leaf. For successful defoliation, the leaf must stay alive
long enough to begin the formation of an abscission zone that results in leaf drop. If the leaf
is killed too rapidly, the chemical signals are not sent from the leaf to the abscission zone. The
result is a leaf that is frozen or “stuck” to the plant, creating unnecessary trash.
Proper defoliation is a profitable part of a total cotton management system. Benefits include:
1.Elimination of the main source of stain and trash, resulting in better grades.
2.Faster and more efficient picker operation.
3.Quicker drying of dew, allowing picking to begin earlier in the day.
4.Straightening of lodged plants for more efficient picking.
5.Retardation of boll rot.
6.Potential stimulation of boll opening, which can increase earliness, yield, and profit.

Aaaaand to further this point further its plant size oreintated. Those tiny flowered out units of yours are naturally not going to benifit at all from it. Defoil is usefull in larger plants, not smaller.

This pertains more to lollipopping which by scientific findings would be beneficial. Those suckers she referred to suck sugar as it travels up to the main flowers.
