TL;DR: Although erratic, boll opening activity from paraquat application can be significant, the reliability of ethephon based products, which are consistent boll openers, may be enhanced by formulations that contain a synergist. (via Semantic Scholar)

Fiber Yield and Quality of Cotton Grown at Two Divergent Population Densities

Jones, M. A., & Wells, R. (1998, September 1). Crop Science.

By: M. Jones  n & R. Wells n

topics (OpenAlex): Research in Cotton Cultivation
TL;DR: It is indicated that replanting would be of little help toward improving fiber yield because it would rely more heavily on later produced bolls, indicating negative effects of reduced heat unit accumulation by later bolls. (via Semantic Scholar)

RFLP tagging of QTLs conditioning specific leaf weight and leaf size in soybean

Mian, M. A. R., Wells, R., Carter, T. E., Ashley, D. A., & Boerma, H. R. (1998, March 1). Theoretical and Applied Genetics.

By: M. Mian*, R. Wells n, T. Carter n, D. Ashley* & H. Boerma*

author keywords: soybean; Glycine max; QTL; RFLP; SLW; leaf size
topics (OpenAlex): Soybean genetics and cultivation; Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms; Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis
TL;DR: To maximize total photosynthetic performance, and perhaps the seed yield, of a soybean cultivar, it would be necessary to establish a large leaf area rapidly while maintaining a high SLW, and it is possible to select for progeny lines with greater SLW than either parent without affecting the leaf size.

Dry Matter Allocation and Fruiting Patterns of Cotton Grown at Two Divergent Plant Populations

Jones, M. A., & Wells, R. (1997, May 1). Crop Science.

By: M. Jones * & R. Wells n

topics (OpenAlex): Research in Cotton Cultivation; Horticultural and Viticultural Research
TL;DR: A field study was conducted to investigate the response of cotton vegetative and reproductive development to two plant populations, finding that replanting low populations would not be advisable because the delay in maturity would probably be more injurious to boll production than the low population per se.

Soybean Growth and Light Interception: Response to Differing Leaf and Stem Morphology

Wells, R., Burton, J. W., & Kilen, T. C. (1993, May 1). Crop Science.

By: R. Wells*, J. Burton & T. Kilen n

topics (OpenAlex): Soybean genetics and cultivation; Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems; Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms
TL;DR: Data indicate that brachytic genotypes do not fully intercept available PAR in wide rows and low populations, especially when combined with lanceolate leaflets, and significant seed yield differences, despite 95% PAR interception by all genotypes in some environments, indicate the presence of yield limiting factors other than PAR interception.

topics (OpenAlex): Soybean genetics and cultivation; Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems; Growth and nutrition in plants
TL;DR: Plant spacing greatly affects leaf area, light interception, and canopy apparent photosynthesis in soybean and relationships among these variables in four population-density and row-width treatment combinations for two seasons are examined. (via Semantic Scholar)
