Summary

​This presentation review factors in plant growth regulator (PGR) management for northern U.S. production regions. General topics include considerations for PGR use (plant size and growth; dilution of effect; “pix effect”); other factors that regulate growth (variety selection; fruit retention; management of nutrients and water); and PGRs in dryland cotton (fruit loss from water and/or heat stress or storm damage; season-long conditions; risk of applying versus not applying; anticipating need).
