The techniques of cryostat sectioning, freeze-drying, and microradioautography were adapted to study the absorption and translocation of radio-labeled 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (14C-diuron) in root-treated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., var. Coker 201) plants. Diuron appeared to move primarily in the apoplast and to be transported acropetally and laterally in the transpiration stream. Radioactivity was observed to accumulate in striking concentrations in the lysigenous, or pigment, glands and the trichomes of the cotton plant. This accumulation is postulated to be a major factor in lowering the effective concentration of the herbicide in the leaves of cotton as compared to leaves of more susceptible plants, and thus may be a significant factor in the tolerance of cotton to diuron.

The influence of timing and method of application of sodium or disodium salts of methanearsonic acid (MAA) on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) response, arsenic content of seed, and arsenic content of soils, was studied in field experiments in California, Arizona, and Mississippi. Methods of application consisted of directed and topical sprays. Directed sprays were applied to cover the small weeds in the drill row with a minimum of contact on cotton leaves more than 2 to 3 inches above the ground. Topical sprays were applied from nozzles positioned over the cotton in such a way that the entire cotton plant was subject to coverage. Rates of application were either 2 or 3 lb/A of the salts, and either two or three applications were made to treated plots. Cotton appeared highly tolerant to directed applications. A topical application to cotton 2 to 4 inches slightly reduced yields, but topical applications made at later stages of growth caused progressively severe reductions in yields and delayed maturity. The arsenic content of cottonseed from treated plots was not significantly higher than in that from untreated checks providing that applications were restricted to prebloom stages. Either directed or topical applications made during the blooming stage resulted in detectable increases of arsenic in the cottonseed. The effect of the treatments on arsenic content of soils was relatively small in comparison with natural levels, but the effect was detectable at one of the three locations.

Fungal diseases of cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) were studied during July, 2011 to June, 2012. Eleven cotton varieties were selected for the experiment. Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler, Aspergillus niger van Tiegh, Colletotrichum gossypii Sowthworth, Colletotrichum dematium (Pers.) Grove, Curvularia clavata Jain, Fusarium sp., Gleotrichum sp., Hyalopycnis sp., Pestalotiopsis guepinii (Desm.) Stay, and a sterile fungus were isolated from infected leaves of cotton varieties CB6 and CB11. Colletotrichum gossypii was isolated from both the varieties and C. dematium was exclusively isolated from CB6. Varieties CB6 and CB11 were more susceptible than other varieties. Cotton varieties CB1, CB2, and CB3 showed negligible infection on leaves and bolls. Colletotrichum gossypii and Hyalopycnis sp. are new record for Bangladesh. Moreover, association of C. dematium, Gleotrichum sp., P. guepinii and Hyalopycnis sp. with cotton is being reported first time. The three fungi Colletotrichum. gossypii, C. dematium and Hyalopycnis sp. are described and illustrated in this account as new Deuteromycetous records for Bangladesh.Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 39, No. 2, 213-221, 2015

Seed cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.) yields were not reduced when competing with prickly sida (Sida spinosaL.) for 7 weeks or less after cotton emergence and maintained weed-free for the remainder of the season. Cotton yields were not affected when pure prickly sida stands were controlled for 5 to 6 weeks after cotton emergence and then allowed to grow uncontrolled for the remainder of the season. In the more severe weed competition treatments, cotton plant height and main stem diameter were reduced; however, yield of seed cotton was the most sensitive indicator of prickly sida competition. Maturity of cotton, as measured by percent of total yield obtained at first picking, indicated a delay in maturity in 1 of 3 yr in treatments where competing prickly sida was present for 8 weeks or more. In density studies, where prickly sida emerged with cotton and was allowed to compete for the full growing season, 45 prickly sida plants/15 m of row caused reductions in yield of seed cotton in two of five experiments. In another series of three experiments as few as 32 prickly sida plants/15 m of row significantly reduced seed cotton yields in two of the three experiments. Trash content of machine-harvested cotton was increased at densities of 64 and 128 prickly sida plants/15 m of row in one experiment. Staple length and grade of cotton were not affected by any weed density studied. Micronaire measurements of cotton were reduced at prickly sida densities of 64 and 128 weeds/15 m of row during 1972.

The absorption and translocation of14C-terbutryn [2-(tert-butylamino)-4-(ethylamino)-6-(methylthio)-s-triazine] and14C-fluometuron [1,1-dimethyl-3-(α,α,α,-trifluoro-m-tolyl) urea] in cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL. ‘SJ-1′) and snapbean (Phaseolus vulgarisL. ‘Tenderette’) were studied.14C-terbutryn supplied to the roots accumulated in the root system of both species. However, snapbean plants (sensitive) absorbed and translocated more14C to the shoots than cotton (tolerant), followed by rapid distribution in the leaf mesophyll tissue. In cotton, the translocated14C-terbutryn accumulated in stems, petioles, and leaf veins. Excised cotton roots absorbed more14C-terbutryn than excised snapbean roots. The uptake and distribution pattern of root-applied14C-fluometuron was similar in both species. Foliar application to the primary leaf of snapbeans and to one cotyledon of cotton resulted in 2% of14C-terbutryn transported acropetally to younger leaves with no basipetal movement. Translocation of14C-fluometuron from the site of foliar application was two or three times faster than terbutryn with significant basipetal transport in both species.

Pulses of gibberellic acid (GA3) offered at various phases of circadian leaf-movement rhythms in the cotton plant, Gossypium hirsutum, effected advance phase shifts of varying magnitude. Neither the quality nor the amount of these phase shifts was altered by the background illumination, suggesting an apparent absence of synergistic action of the light and gibberellic acid.
