Cotton Plant Height

Gossypium L.

A biometric indicator characterizing growth dynamics and productivity potential, measured from the soil surface to the growing point of the main stem.

In the reference 35 varieties crop Cotton, where this is mentioned in the description.

The height of the main cotton stem is a dynamic indicator that varies from 40–45 cm in short-stature forms to 1.8–2.1 m in tall plants, reaching its maximum by the mass ripening phase. Measurement is conducted from the soil level to the apex, with final values depending on the genotype, soil fertility, irrigation conditions, and planting density.

The technological significance of plant height is linked to the need for optimizing nutrition and implementing topping, which limits apical growth to redistribute nutrients in favor of fruiting organs. Excessive stem growth is undesirable, as it may delay boll maturation and hinder mechanized harvesting.
