Cotton canopy conditioner to prevent cotton regrowth comprising glyphosate or sulfosate and a krebs cycle acid

摘要

A conditioner containing a regrowth inhibitor containing glyphosate, sulfosate, or a salt of either is used at 0-50% open boll to condition cotton plants before chemical defoliation to prevent vegetative regrowth after defoliation. The conditioner can also contain at least one of the Krebs cycle acids, preferably an acid-containing extract from pentosan-containing seed hulls, to increase yields of high quality fibers and vigorous seeds.
