What is This Harvest Delay Costing Us?(Objectives of Study)
• Investigate the effects of harvest timing on fiber properties in general and percent uniformity in particular.
• Investigate the effects of harvest timing on lint yield.
• Investigate the effects of harvest timing on profitability.
Cotton Defoliation Timing Study
CPES - Ponder Farm•Established 13 treatments (weeks) in the study area.
•Applied harvest aids every week for 13 weeks (NACB and %OB)
•Machine picked each plot two weeks after applying harvest aids.
•Seed cotton ginned on mini gin and the USDA-ARS Lab.
•HVI and AFIS on lint samples (3 per plot).
•Data subject to ANOVA.

Why is Uniformity Changing?
• Increasing up to 70% OB• Crop Maturity?• Non-determinate Crop
• Decreasing after 70% OB• Crop Weathering?

CONCLUSIONSApplication of Harvest-Aids at
60-80% Open Boll:• Maximized
• Length Uniformity• Fiber Length• Lint Yield (1999)• Profit (1999)
• Minimized• Short Fiber Content
