Effects of Plant Population on Growth and Development of Cotton in South Georgia

C.W. Bednarz, S.H. Baker, S.M. Brown and D. Bridges


 
ABSTRACT

A population density study was conducted at the University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton on a Tifton loamy sand. The cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) variety used for this study was SureGrow 404. Treatments consisted of the following seeding rates: (1) 1, (2) 2, (3) 3, (4) 4, and (5) 6 seeds/foot of row. Final plant populations were (1) 0.85, (2) 1.91, (3) 2.60, (4) 3.43, and (5) 4.37 plants/foot of row. Beginning at 60 days after planting (DAP) three row feet were harvested from each plot every 7-14 days until 120 DAP. After each harvest, the samples were disassembled for growth analysis and oven dried at 60°C for dry weight determinations. Upon crop maturity, 10 row feet from each treatment were box picked for yield distribution determination.
