Field studies were conducted across four environments in Kentucky to determine the effect of seeding rate and glyphosate application timing on soybean seed yield, weed control, light interception at growth stage R1 and canopy closure at R5. Soybean was seeded at rates of 75,000, 125,000, and 175,000 seeds/acre, while glyphosate was applied at 3 weeks after planting (WAP), 5 WAP, 7 WAP, or 3 & 7 WAP. Seed yield at 125,000 seeds/acre was greater than at 75,000 seeds/acre rate in two of four environments. There were no yield differences between 125,000 and 175,000 seeds/acre. Sequential applications of glyphosate at 3 and 7 WAP as well as a single application at 5 WAP always resulted in seed yield equal to a weed free herbicide program. Yields from the 3 WAP treatment was lower than weed free in three of four environments. Seeding rate did not influence the optimum timing for a spray application for any of the factors measured, indicating that glyphosate herbicide programs do not need to be adjusted when seeding rate is reduced.</p>","PeriodicalId":100342,"journal":{"name":"Crop Management","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1094/CM-2013-0226-01-RS","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91940260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, cotton growers are advised to begin defoliation as early as possible, but not so early that they cause yield and quality loss. In order to have confidence in this final pre-harvest step, growers monitor the growth stage of their crop by counting the number of nodes above cracked boll (NACB). In California, it is common practice to apply the first defoliant treatment at 4 NACB, which corresponds with the US Cotton Belt's recommended timing, which is when 60% of the harvestable bolls are open (9,20). It can be beneficial to have an early defoliant application because often it leads to an earlier harvest. This early harvest allows cotton growers to conduct their harvest prior to the onset of adverse late-season fog or rains that can occur in California's San Joaquin Valley and make harvests more difficult. The objective of this research on San Joaquin Valley Acala cotton was to compare the impact of different rates of Ginstar (thidiazuron/diuron) or Ginstar plus Finish (ethephon/cyclanilide) on defoliation, yield, and fiber quality of cotton when defoliant applications were initiated at the earlier 6 NACB timing, which corresponds to 40% open boll versus the common 4 NACB timing. Starting the defoliation process with an Acala cultivar at 6 NACB instead of at 4 NACB did not significantly affect yield or cotton HVI (high volume instrument) fiber quality characteristics. Earlier defoliation could be of significant benefit in years when later-maturing crops or worsening harvest-season weather necessitate the initiation of an earlier harvest.</p>","PeriodicalId":100342,"journal":{"name":"Crop Management","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91865789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
