    Lyon, Bruce R.; Cousins, Yvonne L.; Llewellyn, Danny J.; Huppatz, John L.; Dennis, Elizabeth S.; Peacock., James W. (1990-08-08)
    As cotton is naturally sensitive to a range of herbicides used for the control of broadleaf weeds, post-emergence suppression of such weeds is limited to relatively inefficient lay-by herbicides and mechanical means including ...
  • IMPROVING COTTON ESTABLISHMENT WITH SEED PRIMING 
    Bunn, D.G.; Barlow, E.W.R. (1990-08-08)
    Establishing a satisfactory stand of cotton is a continuing problem for many growers. Even when the crop is not planted 'too early in terms of the 9: 00 soil temperature there is still a risk involved . A cold snap following ...
  • MANAGEMENT OF COTTON WITH NITROGEN AND PIX 
    Constable, Greg (1990-08-08)
    In dealing with nitrogen and Pix, points to put the issues in context are that nitrogen is the most important because it can increase yield by much more than a growth regulator such as Pix can. However the two inputs ...
  • MANAGING FINANCES 
    Chatterton, A.J. (1990-08-08)
