Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Planting density elevates the initial fruiting node of cotton.
- Association Density and MC show no antagonistic interaction in shaping cotton architecture.
- Intervention effect Increasing density improves the leaf area index of cotton.
- Intervention effect MC optimizes light distribution in the cotton canopy during the critical boll stage.
- Intervention effect High density significantly increases seed cotton yield.
- Intervention effect High density increases the number of bolls per unit area.
- Intervention effect High density reduces the number of bolls per plant, which is overcompensated at the population level.
- Intervention effect High MC dosage maximized the yield potential of high-density cotton populations in a dose-dependent synergistic effect.
- Observation Fiber quality of cotton remained stable across treatments, driven by interannual climate factors rather than agronomic regulation.
- Recommendation Combining high density with medium-to-high MC dosage is recommended for machine-harvestable cotton.
