Preliminary results from the third year of this study indicate that planting pattern and seeding rate have influence on cotton growth and yield.  Additionally, these differences are affected by location of experiment, which may be attributed to soil type and environment.  Due to the variation observed among planting patterns and seeding rates at both locations over a three year period, research needs to be continued in the following year to elucidate the affect of alternative planting patterns and seeding rates in cotton.
