View larger version (28K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Relationship between yield and time of defoliation based on various open boll percentages at defoliation (OBPD) for each gap type in 3 yr at Clayton, NC. Each data point represents yield at a particular OBPD in an individual plot. * Slope of the gap and no gap treatments for that year are significantly different from each other. Fisher's Protected LSD, p 0.05.

Relationship between micronaire and time of defoliation based on various open boll percentage at defoliation (OBPD) for each gap type over 3 yr at Clayton, NC. Each data point represents micronaire values from at a particular OBPD measured in an individual plot at harvest. * Slope of the gap and no gap treatments for that year are significantly different from each other.
