Abstract
The advantages and disadvantages of ratooning are discussed from the horticulturist's point of view, A comparison is described between a sample of Queensland cotton grown from seed and a sample grown under the same conditions from plants which had been ratooned at the end of the previous season. In the case investigated, the conclusion drawn is that the quality of the ratooned cotton is inferior to that of the normal product. It is not suggested, however, that ratooning should be condemned without more evidence from other parts of the worid.Keywords
