Carbon and Water Economies of Well‐Watered and Water‐Deficient Cotton Plants Treated with Mepiquat Chloride

The growth regulor mepiquat chloride (MC) (1,1-dimethylpiperidinium chloride) inhibits leaf expansion, reduces leaf diffuse resistance, and reduces leaf photosynthetic rates when applied to cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Whole-plant studies in a controlled environment were conducted to evaluate the effect of MC on the C and water economies of Stoneville 825 cotton plants growing under well-watered and water-deficient conditions(.)
