Abstract

Spot-treatments of young cotton with 2,2–dichloropropionic acid, simulating control of clumps of perennial grass, resulting in 10 to 25% reductions in cotton stands, did not cause proportional reductions in yields of seed cotton. Increased growth of cotton plants adjacent to skips compensated for reduced stands. The treatments did not affect boll components or fiber properties of cotton.
