Harnessing perennial and indeterminant growth habits for ratoon cotton (Gossypium spp.) cropping

Ratoon is the stub or root of a perennial plant that is commonly retained after harvest to produce a following crop. This paper presents a review of ratoon cotton in relation to a broader framework that has been examining perennialization of agriculture for the benefit of ecology and economy. Cotton...
