Abstract

Cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum L. ‘Atlas 67′) oil quality was measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Postemergent applications of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) (0.22, 0.34, or 0.45 kg/ha); 1,1-dimethyl-3-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)urea (fluometuron) (0.56, 1.12, or 1.68 kg/ha); or 2,4-bis(isopropylamino)-6-(methylthio)-s-triazine (prometryne) (0.22, 0.45, or 0.90 kg/ha) in phytobland oil (4.7, 9.3, or 14.0 L/ha) did not modify the percentage myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, or arachidic acids when compared to cotton treated with phytobland oil alone or the three herbicides without oil.
