Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., 2n = 52, AADD) is an allotetraploid, therefore the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers is difficult. The recent emergence of genome complexity reduction technologies based on the next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform has greatly expedited SNP discovery in crops with highly repetitive and complex genomes. Here we applied restriction...

The use of glyphosate, as a post-emergence broad-spectrum herbicide in genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant (GT) cotton, supposes a big change in weed management programs with respect to a conventional regime. Thus, alterations in arable flora and arthropod fauna must be considered when evaluating their potential impacts. A 3-year farm-scale study was conducted in a 2-ha GT cotton crop, in ...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the largest fibre crop globally and an important oilseed crop. Rising temperatures declining water supplies, which are also impacting soil salinity, threaten cotton plant productivity. Germination, emergence young seedling stages in highly sensitive to salinity heat stresses. Brassinosteroids (BRs) steroid hormones that essential for proper growth development prom...

Straw nursery pots (SNPs), which utilize agricultural residues such as wheatstraw and corn stalks as raw materials, can be widely used in the transplantingof seedlings of crops, vegetables, flowers and trees. Plastic nursery pots (PNPs)and direct sowing (DS) were used as controls in evaluating the effects of SNPson plant growth, dry matter partitioning, yields and economic benefits oftransplant...

Cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littoralis, is considered one of the most common arthropod pests that contribute to crop devastation cotton. Previously, agricultural were controlled through application chemical insecticides. However, insecticide-resistant insect populations emergence, as well increasing concerns about environmental and human health risks. Venomous animals introduce valuable source...

US cotton producers are motivated to optimize planter performance ensure timely and uniform stand establishment early in the season, especially when planting sub-optimal field conditions. Field studies were conducted 2017, 2018 2019 evaluate effect of seeding depth downforce on crop emergence yield planted different soil moisture conditions representative dry, normal wet attained by applying 0,...


 The major problem in cotton-wheat cropping system is delayed harvesting of cotton which results late planting wheat. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted on relay wheat standing that comprised three different seeding densities (100, 125 and 150 kg ha-1) four seed soaking durations (0, 6, 12 18 hours). designed randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement having repl...

Reuse of saline subsurface drainage water for irrigation has been identi®ed as a potential option for managing drainage volumes and sustaining crop productivity in California's San Joaquin Valley. Soil surface structural instability, crusting and poor stand establishment may, however, be constraints in drainage reuse systems. The objective of this ®eld study was to evaluate the effectiveness of...

The current commercial application of ink-jet reactive inks to cotton fabrics has been through pre-treating with pad liquor prior to printing. In This study made an effort to provide a single phase ink-jet printing process for printing cotton fabric using the novel cationic reactive dye in ink’s formulation. Cotton fabric was printed upon with the novel cationic reactive dye and commercial anio...
