For Missouri, irrigated cotton should produce around 20 to 22 nodes during the season, while nonirrigated cotton may produce 17 to 18. These values may vary from year to year and field to field, yet they are still a good standard on which to base a decision.
Insects and weeds may be the visible enemies of a good cotton crop, but what you do at planting time is even more important.

A âgood standâ refers to the number of healthy, vigorous seedlings that are evenly distributed in the field.
