Mepiquat Chloride and Temperature Effects on Photosynthesis and Respiration of Fruiting Cotton

Crop Science, 1991
The bioregulator, mepiquat chloride (1,1‐dimethylpiperidinum chloride), consistently suppresses rank growth of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), but yield responses are erratic. The objective of this study was to determine cotton plant response to mepiquat chloride (MC) at different temperatures, so that appropriate functions can be provided to the ...

Modeling mepiquat chloride-temperature interactions in cotton: the model

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 1993
Abstract The plant growth regulator mepiquat chloride (1,1-dimethylpiperidinium chloride) is used to reduce vegetative growth in cotton. It is commonly used to control the side effects of optimization of inputs such as water and nitrogen. It has been shown that mepiquat chloride (MC) suppresses excessive plant growth by decreasing plant height ...

The effects of gibberellins and mepiquat chloride on nitrogenase activity in Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2014
Application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) to soybean plants is known to induce changes in nitrogenase activity in root nodules, and this led us to hypothesize that PGRs would affect nitrogenase activity in free-living rhizobia cultures. Little is known about the molecular basis of the effects of PGRs on nitrogenase activity in free-living rhizobia ...

PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL EFFECTS OF MEPIQUAT CHLORIDE ON GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea)

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1998
Experiments were carried out to understand the physiological effects of Mepiquat Chloride (MC), 1, 1-dimethyl piperidinium chloride on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) at different concentrations and in comparison with CCC (2-chloro ethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride).

Influence of Plant Density on Cotton Response to Mepiquat Chloride Application

Agronomy Journal, 2006
Increased yield potential associated with full‐season cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) varieties can be offset by excessive vegetative growth that leads to undesirable fruit shed and boll rot. Producers often make multiple mepiquat chloride (1,1‐dimethyl‐piperidinium chloride) applications with excessive seasonal use rates to combat this problem, often ...

I Effect of Mepiquat chloride and boron on irrigated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) in Turkey

Indian Journal of Agronomy, 2001
A field study was conducted from 2003 to 2004 to evaluate effects of foliar application of Mepiquat chloride and boron on growth and yield of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Mepiquat chloride @ 0.15 litrelha sig- nificantly reduced plant height, number of main stem nodes and nodes to first fruiting branch compared to the control.

QUALITY CHARACTERS OF GROUNDNUT KERNEL AS INFLUENCED BY MEPIQUAT CHLORIDE (MC)

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1998
Investigations were carried out to study the effect of Mepiquat Chloride (1. 1- dimethyl piperidinium chloride) on certain quality characters of groundnut kernel. Foliar application of MC on 35 days after sowing increased the oil content by 4.6 per cent. Carbohydrate content decreased, and protein content showed no significant change in response to MC.

Cotton Cultivar Response to Mepiquat Chloride¹

Agronomy Journal, 1983
AbstractThe effects of mepiquat chloride (1,1‐dimethylpiperidinium chloride) on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth and yield have been widely studied but few studies have investigated cultivar response to this plant growth regulator. Since the response to a pesticide or a plant growth regulator may vary among cultivars, a knowledge of cultivar ...

Mepiquat chloride (PIX)-induced changes in photosynthesis and growth of cotton

Plant Growth Regulation, 1996
Mepiquat chloride (N, N-dimethylpiperidinium chloride), well known as PIX, is a potential systemic plant growth regulator. The effects of PIX on plant height, stem elongation, leaf area, net photosynthetic rates, chlorophyll content, sucrose and starch levels, and RuBP carboxylase activity in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv.

Increase in Drought Resistance of Cotton Seedlings Treated with Mepiquat Chloride

Agronomy Journal, 1992
AbstractUnder rainfed conditions, plant establishment is often low in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) because of water limitations. Increasing drought resistance of cotton seedlings by accelerating root growth thus has important, practical implications.
