Abstract£ºWanmian 19 F1 was used to study the effects of methyl octanoate, methyl decanoate and 6-BA on topping in cotton. All the three chemicals reduced plant height. The higher concentrations increased fruiting branches, bolls, boll weights and lint percentage, thus increased the yield of seed cotton and lint. The chemicals had little influence on fiber upper length and uniformity, but most of them increased micronaire. At higher concentrations they reduced fiber strength and elongation rate, and thus decreased fiber quality. In general, the chemicals at suitable concentrations could be used to replace artificial topping.
Key words£ºcotton; topping; methyl octanoate; methyl decanoate; 6-BA
