Variety turnover is occuring at an alarming pace.  Most years new varieties may be planted over wide acreage with little information on management needs with plant growth regulators.  The purpose of this study was to evaluate new cotton cultivars prior to commercial release so reccomendations could be developed regarding plant growth regulator needs, timings of application and use rates. Results will be reported on a number of studies across three Mid-South states.
