Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvest-Aid Chemicals for Cotton: Defoliants, Desiccants, and Second-Growth Inhibitors Research so far reveals that the preper use of harvest-aid chemicals does not reduce fiber quality or adversely affect the milling properties of mature cotton; and that their use may contribute to efficient harvesting, ginning, and insect control, even though yields may be slightly reduced under some conditions. Research further shows that growers who plan for defoliation usually achieve satisfactory results, that the timing of chemical application is important, that bottom defoliation sometimes contributes to good har vesting and high yields, that controlling late growth and second growth is important, and that additives sometimes make defoliants more efficient.
