Germingting ideas

摘要

Welcome to this edition of Germinating Ideas, the first for 2006. In this edition we will look at late season management of crops especially Bollgard II, and preparing from defoliation, one of the most important activities in ensuring a good clean pick. Late season crop management: Bollgard II now allows the opportunity to benefit from later fruit to help contribute to both yield and fibre quality. Because this later fruit can be utilised there is a need to ensure that nutrition, water and insect management continues late into the crop's life cycle.
