Terminal bud and flower bud removal in short-season cotton
With the objective of evaluating the isolated and combined effects of terminal bud removal and debudding in uplan cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.r. latifolium Hutch.), cv. CNPA Precoce 1, a field experiment was conducted during the rainy season of 1986 and repeated in 1987 at Sousa, PB, Brazil. In 1986, in a nonfertilized soil it was verified that bud removal realized after fifty days of plant emergence, increased the earlyness in 6.7%, reduced plant height by 16.2%, but did not alter stem diameter and cotton yield. The flower bud removal during the first 28 days after budding start, reduced cotton yield by 23.7% and earlyness from 78.0 tu 29.6%. In 1987, with fertilized soil, the terminal bud removal did not reduce yield, earlyness, and stem diameter but reduced plant height by 31.9%. Flower bud removal reduced earlyness from 50.5 to 22.9% and did not reduce yield
