GAPAC
2006 Defoliation Project
Home Page
The GAPAC Defoliation Demonstration treatments, sponsored by supporting companies, represent established and emerging defoliation chemistries and combinations.
These plots are located in production areas strategically located throughout the state. This year, four consultants have each chosen a field of high yielding cotton to use for plots.
Ratings will be made at five to seven days after application and again at twelve to sixteen days after application. Each location will have a report generated for it, which will be shared with all of the companies that enter in the test. A summary of all locations will be generated and a report given to all interested parties. Results will be posted on the internet on a timely basis (within 48 hours after rating if possible).
We plan to have a field day at several of the locations, inviting consultants, growers, dealers, industry representatives, extension personnel and others.

2006 GAPAC COTTON DEFOLIATION PROJECT We
chose four locations across the state where we set up the same trial
design on uniform, high-yield potential cotton.
We solicited support from industry, asking each company to enter
treatments they would like to test in the trial.
After the treatments are submitted, each participating company
will be provided with a list of all proposed treatments for review and
editing. The market price
for each treatment will be included in the data summaries.
Danny
Bennett and Lee Dykes are responsible for arranging the treatments and

days after application, and again at twelve to sixteen days after
application. Data will be collected as follows: 1.
