Abstract: Short cotton plants necessitate the use of higher plant densities per area unit. Plant size may be reduced genetically or chemically. Plant Growth Regulators, which affects physiological processes using hormones in the plant, can be used to modify plant size. Also, an important objective for using plant growth retardants PGR’s in cotton is to balance vegetative and reproductive growth as well as to improve lint yield and fiber quality. Optimized cotton yields might be reached by means of growth-control management with different combinations of plant densities and chemicals. The objective of this study was to determine if growth retardants might be substituted for plant density, and vice versa, and to investigate their effects on yield and fiber properties.
