Benefits and Liabilities Associated with Early Maturity and Determinacy in Cotton

What is Early Maturity and Determinacy? Physiologically, determinacy might be defined as the degree to which a plant segregates vegetative growth from reproductive growth. A plant that ceases all vegetative growth at the onset of fruiting is completely determinate.

What is Early Maturity and Determinacy? Physiologically, earliness might be defined by the time required by the plant to reach a reproductive growth stage, and by the rate and duration of fruiting.

What is Early Maturity and Determinacy? Agronomically, earliness is defined as the time required to mature a satisfactory crop and determinacy is defined as the plant’s ability to maintain vegetative growth and fruit form production after the onset of fruiting.

Characteristics and Components of Early Maturity Early fruit initiation (low fruiting node) Accelerated rate of fruiting bud development Accelerated rate of flowering Compressed fruiting interval Reduced rate of vegetative growth

Characteristics and Components of Early Maturity Early and sharply defined cessation of vegetative and reproductive growth (cutout) Shorter boll maturation period Shorter plant stature  High fruit retention rates

Accelerated Flowering and Cutout

Early maturity traits: Early fruit initiation Increased plant determinacy reflected by plant heights  High fruit retention rates

Advantages of Early Maturity Shorter growing season –Insect pest evasion and management –Avoidance of environmental adversities: Cool planting temperatures Heat stress Cool temperatures during boll maturation Inclement weather during harvest

Escape from an environmental adversity (heat stress) due to early maturity in Pima S-7.

Management Advantages –Reduced insecticide applications –Reduced numbers of irrigations –Increased flexibility in the development of management strategies

Uses or Proposed Uses of Early Maturing Cultivars Late planting to create a suicidal emergence of Pink Bollworm (Arizona). Late planting following the failure of a medium or full season cultivar due to weather (general, U.S.). Early or normal planting to avoid cool temperatures during boll maturation and resulting poor fiber quality (high plains, Texas).

Uses or Proposed Uses of Early Maturing Cultivars Early or normal planting to avoid rain and fog conditions at harvest (northern San Joaquin Valley, California). Use in multiple cropping schemes, allowing production of food and cash crops in a single year (China, north Africa, general).

Historically, insect pests have been the predominant motivation for the development of early maturing cultivars in the U.S. Pre-1890 – Use of early maturing cultivars in northern cotton states due to short growing season. 1900’s – Severe boll weevil pressure led to movement of early maturing cultivars into mid-south and the development of new early maturing cultivars. 1970’s – Severe bollworm/budworm problems in mid- south renewed breeding efforts for earlier maturing cultivars.

Short –Season Management for Pink Bollworm Control in the Imperial Valley of California, Primary Goal: Reduce pink bollworm populations area-wide through increasing time in which fields are free of the cotton host. Secondary Goal: Cotton host avoidance of damaging late season insect populations.

Management Program for Pink Bollworm in the Imperial Valley Early termination of cotton crop with chemical defoliants. Early mandatory destruction of plant residue in fields. Switch from a full season to a medium season cotton variety (from DPL 90 to DPL5415), an unintended component.

Disadvantages of Early Maturity and Increased Determinacy Limitations on yield potential Inflexibility in response to injury Increased management oversight Increased susceptibility to: –Smog (ozone) damage –Foliar leaf spot diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and premature senescence –Verticillium wilt

In cotton, Maturity and Determinacy vary along along a continuous scale. Benefits and liabilities also change on a scale. Environment, management, and economics determine the appropriate level of earliness and determinacy for your situation.
