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.
It doesnt....
actually it dosnt suck sugarThis 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.
Well the hydro tomatoes would prob be closest to mj out of that selection right?so......the last thing on the list is "potential stimulation"
I love how you always throw up scientific paper that never really support your point
defol for cotton is mainly used for harvest practices
as described above
there are many crops that get defoled in production
hydro tomatoes
Hydro Peppers
Hydro Eggplant
but see I live near and visit one of the largest Hydro greenhouses in the world
so I usually have no Idea what I am talking about
they DONT use a 3 part hydro solution
(CalNit, Phosphates/Micronutes, Acid *ph)
They DONT use coco coir slabs
They DONT defol plants
I have no idea what I am talking about
I am completely lost
hey.....guys??????? where is that scientific paper????? guys???? I am lost
please help
I am sinking into the abyss that is the internet
You just cannot do it 1 time and expect results you got to do it several times at certian points.
+1!Hydro tomatoes if you want scientific info look over in holland and those areas the rely on hydroponics to grow thier food lettuce, tomatoes ect.
What it comes down to is the number of grows you have done. The people that know are like me where everytime I flower I have a cpl test subjects I mutilate, stress, break and over/u der feed to see if I can find something, if I do it goes in place on 6 plants, then the room.
I have zero feelings fora plant. They are mearly all test subjects in the end to a better method and practice
Canna practices are pieces robbed from many areas of big agricultute.
for sure! I put rubber hose around the pliar teeth and get right to it if need be!Look at my avatar, there are leaves just not any shade hammocks. The same as that monster lst tom plant. No shade hammocks.
Event those ones that are fat and hard to bend crush em with a pair of pliars until they submit. Didnt say full on smash till thier pulp either
Hold on bro before you go, let me pick This MIC up for you... hahah. Well said bro
That's not why I grow how I do. We aren't all tree huggers. It's how I was taught at a young age and it's all I know. I'd be lost in hydro. I have heard of Holland using hydro for crops. My work hours are all over the place. I cant plan a feeding schedule. All i do is watch them grow. Makes sense?Yet to find a female that didnt like the gummer treatment human or plant or anything inbetween:drunk:
For real mother nature is a cruel bitch.
Take your human feeling push them aside. It seems plants are very responsive to rough treatment for a short period. It makes them stronger. Thats how you find what a plant can do.
You get weak then the bugs take over and end your existance. Mothering a plant keeping it "natural" is human feelings becoming part of the program.
Theres no place for human feelings in the plant world.
We have to use scientific studies to confirm information given on the internet. Have you seen the shit people say? I'm only skeptical because some info is gained at the hydro shop. The guy at the hydro store told me I couldn't make soil with half the nutrient values of fox farms yet I dug up forest humus from my back yard and made a bowl of dirt.so......the last thing on the list is "potential stimulation"
