Intervention effect Removing 120 squares/m2 over 2 weeks did not significantly reduce upland cotton yield.
Intervention effect Removing 200 small squares/m2 over 4 weeks did not significantly reduce upland cotton yield.
Intervention effect Removing 60 small bolls/m2 over 2 weeks did not significantly reduce upland cotton yield.
Intervention effect Removing 60 large bolls/m2 over 2 weeks significantly reduced final upland cotton yield to 56 and 85% of the control.
Intervention effect Removing 30 large bolls/m2 on a single date significantly reduced final upland cotton yield to 56 and 85% of the control.
Intervention effect Late square removal combined with late removal of 30 large bolls/m2 gave 79% of control upland cotton yield.
Association Degree of compensation in combined damage treatments was related to how far square removal delayed crop growth.
Intervention effect Early square removal delayed flowering cutout in upland cotton.

Other claims from this paper (7)

Intervention effect Leaf removal treatments tended to decrease sugar content compared with an untreated control.
Intervention effect Defoliation decreased flavanol and stilbene contents in berries at harvest.
Intervention effect The ELR severe leaf removal increased anthocyanin and phenolic acid contents at harvest compared with an untreated control.
Association Warming during 2022 was associated with decreased contents of all monitored flavonol groups in grapevine berries.
Intervention effect ELR was effective only for delaying ripening, by impairing sugar:anthocyanin decoupling in the 2021 season.
Association Lower kaempferol percentage was related to the sugar:anthocyanin decoupling in the 2021 season.
Recommendation Defoliation should still be applied under current warming trends in some viticulture regions.

Intervention effect Increased potassium fertility did not reduce fumonisin contamination of corn grain.
Observation Corn hybrids showed no consistent differences in grain yield or mycotoxins.
Observation Corn plant densities showed no consistent differences in grain yield or mycotoxins.
Mechanism Differences among years in mycotoxins and yield likely resulted from differences in rainfall.
Recommendation Current potassium fertilizer recommendations appear adequate for both low mycotoxin levels and high grain yields.
Observation Site 1 soil needed 60 lbs K 2 O/acre to yield 200 bu/acre of corn.
Observation Site 2 soil needed 90 lbs/acre of potassium for corn.
