Effect of Foliar-Applied Salicylic Acid on Cotton Flowering, Boll Retention, and Yield

Salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) may help regulate several plant functions, including systemic acquired resistance to pathogens and the formation of flowers. The objective of this study was to characterize the effects of foliar-applied salicylic acid on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) flowering, boll retention, and yield. Field experiments were conducted at two Mississippi locations in 199...

Foliar applied fungicides: Effect on soybean disease, soybean yield and interaction with insecticides

In a trial conducted at the University of Minnesota Southwest research and Outreach Center, Lamberton, MN, Headline fungicide was applied at three rates at V5, at two rates at R2 and at one rate at V5 and R2. At R4, Headline, Quadris Tilt ad Bravo were applied at a single rate each. Additionally at R4 Warrior was applied alone and in combination with Headline and Quadris, Lorsban was applied wi...

Sunflower morphology and yield as affected by foliar applications of plant growth regulators

Plant height of sunflower is a major agronomic trait affecting crop performance in the field and its adaptation to mechanical harvest. Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of foliar application of paclobutrazol (PBZ) at 12.5 g ai/ha, mepiquat chloride (MPC) at 25.0 g ai/ha and chlormequat chloride (CCC) at 1,500 g ai/ha in single or double applications on sunflower plant mor...

Absorption and Mobility of Foliar Applied Nutrients.

Absorption and translocation of foliar-applied iron.

The absorption of (59)Fe(3+) by the leaves of various plant species was studied. Stomata were found to play a major role in foliar absorption when leaves were totally submerged in treatment solutions, and a correlation was found to exist between stomatal area and absorption. Day treated leaves absorbed much more than did night treated leaves. The use of a surfactant markedly increased absorptio...
