Text abstract

The response of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to chilling temperatures has been documented mainly for germinating seeds and young seedlings (Christiansen, 1963; Christiansen & St John, 1981; Guinn, 1971; Sellschop & Salmon, 1928). Ratoon (known also as stub or biennial) cotton offers an opportunity to study the chilling injury of mature plants under field conditions. Observations showed that ratooning plants suffer stand loss during the winter. However, the surviving plants recover and start growing vigorously when temperatures rise, early in the following spring (Ellern, 1966; Evenson, 1970; McClintic, 1981).
