Multiple cotton cultivars were managed under four different plant growth regulator regimes in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.  Preliminary results indicate that cultavars respond differently to the rates and timings of commercially available plant growth regulators.  Differences in plant heights, node number and cutout dates were observed in all varieties, however many varieties responded better than others to applications of plant growth regulator.
