Cotton Irrigation
Size of source (manufacturing plant).
- Size of plant (LAI).
- Canopy photosynthetic rate
- Age of light intercepting leaves.
- Photosynthetic rate as limited by leaf temperature.
Reproductive sink (boll load).
- Too much vegetative growth and poor retention with associated “lateness”.
- Too little results in small plant that is predisposed to cutout. Early but poor yield.
