Applications of cotton defoliants with 4 oz/ac NanoPro® makes harvest easier, resulting in higher grade cotton. In irrigated and non-irrigated trials NanoPro is proven to significantly increase the efficiency of cotton defoliants. At less than $3.50/acre, cotton growers find NanoPro an affordable tool for faster defoliation and decreasing regrowth. 


Below are some NanoPro cotton defoliation University trials:

Collaborator:  Louisiana State University

Location: St. Joseph, Louisiana

Application Type: Foliar, Crop Protection

Nano-Yield Product: 4 oz/ac NanoPro®

Additional Product: 2.4 oz/ac Thidiazuron, 6 oz/ac Folex, 22 oz/ac Ethephon


Summary:  

The addition of NanoPro improved defoliation and reduced regrowth of cotton while increasing the number of open bolls. The effects on defoliation and regrowth were seen starting at 7 days after application (DAA) and continued through 21 DAA. Boll opening was similar by 21 DAA.

Collaborator: Texas A&M

Location: Snook, Texas

Application Type: Foliar, Crop Protection

Nano-Yield Product: 4 oz/ac NanoPro®

Additional Product:  2.4 oz/ac Thidiazuron, 12 oz/ac Folex, 0.25 % v/v NIS


Summary:  

NanoPro improved defoliation in all treatments for irrigated and non-irrigated cotton. At a reduced 50% chemical rate, the treatment with NanoPro maintained adequate defoliation while defoliation reduced significantly without NanoPro.
