Growth regulators and apical meristem removal in cotton development

The objective of this paper was to verify the effect of growth regulators in the development of cotton. Two experiments were carried out in 1992/93 and 1993/94, one in Itaju, SP, and another in Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil. The Itaju experiment consisted of nine treatments and four replications, and that of Jaboticabal, six treatments and five replications, all using a completely randomized block design. The results indicate a favorable use of regulators to promote the development of cotton.
