Ashburn, GA, (very close to Heaven!) | Cloudy weather plus heavy rains add up to a lot of fruit shed, and, depending on his insect spectrum, insects can clip those first position squares before you know it giving more of the same. A lot of fruit shed adds up to vegetative growth. We increase boron rates and growth regulator rates in those conditions, and, sometimes anyway, it helps offset that some.
Yeah, we use commonly use 2,4-DB on peanuts and usualy through drift and / or sprayer contamination, see some effect on cotton. Leaves and square bracts elongate and wrinkle, then go to growing. Some of the popular and not so popular "yield enhancement" products sold for cotton actually have some amounts of phenoxy type compounds in them. |
Cotton.
