Bueckert, R. A. 2011. Simulated hail damage and yield reduction in lentil. Can. J. Plant Sci. 91: 117–124. The severity of crop damage by hail is frequently estimated using equations derived from controlled experiments, but this approach has not been extended to the indeterminate pulse crop lentil (Lens culinaris L.). The objective was to simulate hail damage on two lentil cultivars, and estimate yield reduction for use in the Crop Insurance Industry. Hail damage was simulated by controlled canopy crushing on two cultivars, CDC Blaze and CDC Sedley at 4 location-years in Saskatchewan in 2006 and 2007. Plots received simulated damage as the untreated control (0%), 30, 60 or 90% canopy height reduction by crushing at each of four growth stages: vegetative, early flowering, pod-filling, and physiological maturity. As damage intensity increased from 0 to 90%, yield decreased in both cultivars. Most yield reduction (>65%) was seen when damage occurred in reproductive growth. Yield reduction for lentil damaged in vegetative growth was described by linear models, and the reproductive stages by quadratic models. The equations will help improve hail damage assessment in lentil on the Northern Great Plains.

Field studies were conducted from 1988 through 1990 in Fayetteville, AR, to measure competitiveness of spotted spurge in cotton. Population levels were established by transplanting seedlings from other field areas. There was a positive linear relationship between cotton boll numbers and seed cotton yield. Percent reduction in cotton height, leaf area, dry weight, boll numbers, and seed cotton yield increased as spotted spurge densities increased. Seed cotton yield reduction was 47, 57, and 85% for spotted spurge densities of 5, 10, and 50 spotted spurge plants m–1of row.

Cotton response to triclopyr was evaluated when it was applied over-the-top at simulated drift rates to pin-head square and early bloom cotton growth stages in 1987 and 1988. The herbicidal effects of triclopyr were most evident after a lag period of 10 to 15 d. Triclopyr at 60 g ai ha-1applied at pin-head square reduced cotton height in 1987, but not in 1988. Triclopyr applied at pin-head square and early bloom reduced cotton flowering initially, as measured by white bloom counts, in both years. Total blooms were reduced in 1987, but not in 1988. Cotton maturity was delayed by triclopyr application during early bloom, as shown by a decrease in percent open bolls, and a decrease in first pick cotton yields. Cotton yield was lower in plots receiving triclopyr, with the greatest yield reduction caused by a 60 g ha-1triclopyr application at early bloom.

Survey of cotton fiber yield, in addition to the identification of its best variety can cause cotton residual enhancement. The remainder of cotton stalk in farms is an illness-causing agent and leads to yield reduction in the next cultivation stage, an event which requires burial. So the usage of cotton stalk in the pulp and paper industry,which faces a shortage of raw material, results in a reduction intillage costs, thus, fiber and stalk yield potential gain importance. In this study, we investigated the effect of variety and harvesting time on cotton yield and its components, which was obtained from experiments of the plot of the 2009 cultivation year. An amount of dry material of each part of the components was also obtained. Experiments on factors containedfive varieties: Sepid, Sahel, Armaghan, Golestan and number200. The harvesting times were also three, namely: 145, 175 and 205 days after cultivation replicated in 4 blocks. Results of the variance analysis showed that the effects of variety and harvesting time on total dry material yields, leaf, stalk, bast and the core, cotton yield, empty and closed boll, stalk height and diameter were significated. The Armaghan variety in the second harvesting time had the highest cotton yield(2413.95) ,whilethe Sepid variety had the most cotton stalk yield in the third harvesting time(3716.76). Except for boll, cotton and total dry material yield, in the other evaluated characteristics, the third harvesting time had the best yield, and the most total dry material yield was related to the second harvesting time.

Cotton agroclimatic zoning is an essential tool to establish the most favorable periods for its cultivation, when the environmental conditions are more propitious, in order to reduce risks in agricultural activity. The objective of this work was to develop the zoning of the risk estimation of cotton yield reduction in the state of Mato Grosso, using the FAO method. Cultivars of early, medium and late cycles were considered, with four sowing dates (12/11, 12/21, 1/01 and 1/11) and three available water capacities (60, 140 and 200 mm). Results were specialized by ordinary kriging. The southernmost regions of the state presented the highest reduction risks, due to the lower precipitation in these areas. Sowing period 1 presented the lowest yield reduction risk, and the late-cycle cultivar in season 4 was the one that presented the highest reduction risk. Trough the validation of the obtained results, it can be considered that the methodology adopted in this work to verify the risk of yield decrease proved to be efficient.

Several weed-free and barnyardgrass competition periods were established and maintained in cotton in field plots to evaluate their influence on cotton yield and seed production of barnyardgrass. When barnyardgrass was sprayed with fluazifop 3, 6, 9, or 12 weeks after cotton emergence, only plots sprayed at 3 weeks yielded as much cotton as plots kept weed free. Barnyardgrass permitted to compete for 6, 9, 12, and 25 weeks reduced cotton yields an average of 21, 59, 90, and 97%, respectively. When barnyardgrass was seeded into weed-free plots at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after cotton emergence, a weed-free period of 9 weeks was required to prevent significant cotton yield reduction. Cotton in plots weed free for 3 and 6 weeks yielded an average of 13 and 87% as much seed cotton, respectively, as weed-free controls. Barnyardgrass produced 15 to 85% as many seeds as weedy check plots in plots weed free for less than 9 weeks and in plots where control was delayed for 9 and 12 weeks. Cotton grades were reduced because of grass in plots weed free for 3 and 6 weeks, and in plots where barnyardgrass competed for 9 and 12 weeks.

Field experiments were conducted at Manhattan and Hesston, KS, in 2004, and at Manhattan, KS, in 2005, to evaluate cotton response to seven hormonal-type herbicides. Herbicides 2,4-D amine, 2,4-D ester, clopyralid, picloram, fluroxypyr, triclopyr, and dicamba were each applied at 0, 1/100, 1/200, 1/300, and 1/400 of the herbicide use rates on cotton in the six- to eight-leaf stage. Herbicide use rates were 210 and 280 g ae/ha for fluroxypyr and clopyralid and 561 g ae/ha, for 2,4-D amine, 2,4-D ester, dicamba, picloram, and triclopyr. At 14 d after treatment (DAT), all herbicides caused leaf cupping and epinasty, except triclopyr and clopyralid, which caused severe bleaching and chlorosis. The order of visual injury ratings was 2,4-D ester > 2,4-D amine > picloram > dicamba > fluroxypyr > triclopyr > clopyralid. By 56 DAT, slight injury symptoms were observed on plants treated with all herbicides, except all rates of 2,4-D, from which symptoms were severe. All rates of 2,4-D and the highest rate of picloram caused more than 60% flower abortion. Ranking of fiber yield reduction after herbicide treatment was 2,4-D ester > 2,4-D amine > picloram > fluroxypyr > dicamba > clopyralid > triclopyr. This research demonstrated that cotton is extremely susceptible to simulated drift rates of 2,4-D and picloram, whereas clopyralid and triclopyr caused early injury, with minimal effect on cotton yield.

Field studies were conducted on a Black Belt region clay soil to evaluate pyrithiobac injury to cotton and potential carryover to grain sorghum, soybean, and wheat. Pyrithiobac was applied PPI, PRE, POST at pinhead square, or POST at first bloom at rates of 70, 140, or 280 g ai/ha to cotton. Cotton injury was 7% or less at all rates and application timings. Cotton yield was not reduced by any treatment. The PRE application to cotton, averaged over rates, reduced yield of wheat planted in the fall compared to the POST pinhead square application or the nontreated check. Pyrithiobac at 140 g/ha applied PPI to cotton the previous year reduced soybean yield; at all other rates and timings no soybean yield reduction occurred compared to the nontreated check. Pyrithiobac at all rates applied PPI to cotton caused grain sorghum injury the following year. The 280 g/ha PPI application delayed grain sorghum maturity; however, this did not translate into a yield reduction.
