Physiology of Cotton

Physiology of Cotton edited by James McD. Stewart, Derrick Oosterhuis, James J. Heitholt, Jack R. Mauney.

Cotton production today is not to be undertaken frivolously if one expects to profit by its production. If cotton production is to be sustainable and produced profitably, it is essential to be knowledgeable about the growth and development of the cotton plant and in the adaptation of cultivars to th...
