Variety traits
Gossypium hirsutum L.
A biometric indicator of linear growth in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), measured from the soil surface to the apical growth point, typically ranging from 60 to 200 cm.
In the reference 45 varieties crop Upland cotton, where this is mentioned in the description.
For cotton, plant height is a critical parameter in breeding evaluation and cultivation technology. Measurements are taken in centimeters from the soil surface to the apical point of the main stem during key development phases: budding, flowering, and maturity. Typical values for the crop range from 60–80 cm to 150–200 cm; values below 60–70 cm are classified as short-stature, while those exceeding 150 cm are classified as tall.
The linear growth of cotton directly depends on growing conditions, including irrigation, plant density, and nitrogen supply. Excessively active vegetative growth often leads to delayed maturity, which limits the use of such varieties in regions with short growing seasons. Optimizing plant height is necessary for efficient mechanical harvesting; therefore, growth regulators are applied in cases of excessive growth, and seeding rates are adjusted to reduce intraspecific competition for light.
