Abstract

A systematic method of defining the developmental stages of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is described. The stages of growth are divided into two groups: vegetative and reproductive. The stage of growth of an individual plant is determined by the number of main stem nodes. The uppermost node immediately preceded by a 1.25‐cm internode is considered the latest developed node for staging purposes.Use of these systematic growth stages should lead to more uniform application of agronomic research treatments, cultural practices, and the like.
