| Resumen |
Chemical defoliants are applied to approx. 40% of U.S. cotton acreage. Defoliation lowered the leaf content of raw cotton by a maximum of 50%. The bract content was unaffected. Non-defoliated plants contain a high proportion of green leaf trash, while defoliated plants are mainly non-green. The relations between the colour of the leaf and the presence of potential byssinosis agents were studied. The histamine content in green leaf trash was 10 times that of non-green leaf trash. Thus plant trash may contain varying amounts of potential byssinosis agents depending on time of harvest and state of the plant at harvest. |
