Este originar din America tropicală, Asia și Africa. Face parte din familia Malvaceae, genul Gossypium.
Are tulpină dreaptă ramificată, frunze mari și pețiolate, de culoare verde intensă și cu margini lobate, flori mari, solitare și pendulare (este o plantă autogamă), iar fructul este o capsulă ovoidă.
Bumbacul se cultivă pentru industria fibrelor textile, cei mai importanți producători fiind SUA, China și India.
Dose:
- 0.5 - 1 L/Ha
Moment:
- During crop establishment, flowering and/or first bolls.
Application purpose:
- Homogenous balance in plant development.
- Reinforces root activity and improves the plant’s water and nutrient absorption capacity.
- Improves flower fixation and boll set.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- Stress situations.
Application purpose:
- Eliminates the excess of ethylene caused by abiotic/biotic stress (nascence, flooding, extreme high and/or low temperatures, frost, phytotoxicities, plagues, disease, etc.).
Dose:
- 1 L/Ha
Moment:
- Together with herbicide.
Application purpose:
- Eliminates the herbicide’s damaging effect on the crop.
Dose:
- 0.5 - 1 L/Ha
Moment:
- During crop establishment, flowering and/or first bolls.
Application purpose:
- Homogenous balance in plant development.
- Reinforces root activity and improves the plant’s water and nutrient absorption capacity.
- Improves flower fixation and boll set.
Dose:
- 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- Two applications:
1) First boll appearance.
2) 3-5 % open bolls.
Application purpose:
- Reduce flower and boll abscission.
- Minimize the negative effects of overproduction of Ethylene and ABA.
- Increase boll specific weight, and, consequently, global production yields.
Dose:
- 3 L/Ha
Moment:
- Boll development.
Application purpose:
- Increase production, increasing photosynthetic rates and sugar generation.
Dose:
- 3 L/HA
Moment:
- 1. BBCH 51-52 Visible floral buds
- 2. BBCH 59-61 Beginning of flowering
- 3. BBCH 83-84 Opening of bolls
Application purpose:
- Control of vegetative growth.
- Increase the quality and quantity of flowering.
- Avoid the loss of bolls and promote their filling by increasing fiber quality.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- Stress situations.
Application purpose:
- Eliminates the excess of ethylene caused by abiotic/biotic stress (nascence, flooding, extreme high and/or low temperatures, frost, phytotoxicities, plagues, disease, etc.).
