Abstract
- The article discusses considerations relating to pre-sowing which will influence the fiber quality of cotton. Growers are advised to choose a variety with potential for good fiber quality traits and to evaluate relative fiber properties using published seed company data. Weed control is considered critical because weeds at harvest reduce harvest efficiency, contaminate lint, and reduce the effectiveness of leaf dessicant applications. The effects of excessive nitrogen nutrition are discussed.
