  • GL Ritchie, CW Bednarz, PH Jost, SM Brown. Cotton growth and development. 2007 Jun 1; Cooperative Extension Work of University of Georgia Bulletin 1252. esploro.libs.uga.edu.
Cotton is a unique crop plant, and its innate growth pattern makes it challenging to grow. However, the plant develops in a somewhat predictable pattern. Initially, leaf area and vegetative structures are developed that will then support future reproductive growth. If this initial vegetative growth is compromised, subsequent reproductive growth also suffers. Unlike many other crops, the cotton plant continues vegetative growth after flowering beg... [more]
