Optimal combination of canopy management and planting density for yield enhancement in late-sown cotton
The results showed that a combination of chemical topping plus pruning enhances seed cotton yield, whereas manual topping integration with pruning improved fiber quality. Finding suggests the importance of selecting an optimal combination according to production needs under a cotton wheat cropping system in late sown conditions.
