Research was conducted from 1983 through 1986 to compare the competitiveness of three cotton cultivars of different height with johnsongrass. Cultivars evaluated were: ‘1209-619-7’, ‘TAMCOT SP37-H’, and 'Stoneville 213’, which had an average height at maturity of 66, 122, and 168 cm, respectively. Each cultivar was grown with johnsongrass densities of 0, 4, and 6 plants/6 m of row with a 1-m row spacing. Johnsongrass biomass data confirmed that all three cultivars did compete with johnsongrass, but regression analyses using cultivar as a covariate revealed no difference in the competitiveness of the three cultivars.
