“…Ratoon cotton is of great importance in genetics and breeding research, such as preserving sterility, reproducing wild germplasms, decreasing the cost of producing F 1 hybrid cottonseeds, fixing heterosis, establishing permanent populations of isolate generations such as F 2 for genetic research, and extending the effective breeding time of germplasms for more than one year (Zhang et al 2013;D'Eeckenbrugge and Lacape 2014;Muhammad, Rauf, and Naz 2015;Zhou 2016;Komala, Kumar, and Ganesan 2019).…”

“…In India and China, the advantages of hybrid F 1 cotton have indicated its great production value, but its high price limits wide application (Zhang et al 2013;Komala, Ganesan, and Kumar 2018). The cost savings associated with using ratoon cotton or even ratooned male sterile lines to produce F 1 seeds will be considerable (Plucknett, Evenson, and Sanford 1970;Zhang et al 2015a;Zhou 2016;Majjiga, Ganesan, and Kumar 2018;Komala, Kumar, and Ganesan 2019).…”

“…Island cotton has the advantages of tolerance to cold, drought, and some pests and diseases. Island cotton and the interspecific hybrid between upland cotton and island cotton are long-staple cottons, and their yield can be greatly increased by ratoon cultivation, as mentioned above (Majjiga, Ganesan, and Kumar 2018;Komala, Kumar, and Ganesan 2019). Therefore, the development of island cotton in the tropics has good prospects (Khader and Prakash 2014), and can open up new avenues for long-staple cotton production to meet the growing demand of the textile industry for premium longstaple cotton.…”

“…Ratoon cropping is the production of an indeterminate crop without sowing, and it is common in crops such as rice (He et al 2019), sugarcane (Castro et al 2019), pigeon pea (Grabowski et al 2019) and sorghum (Snapp et al 2019), as well as cotton (Komala, Kumar, and Ganesan 2019). Ratoon cotton is advantageous for sustainable development, and has been cultivated in many cotton-growing countries, such as Australia, Brazil, China, Guyana, Kenya, India, Israel, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa and the USA (Plucknett, Evenson, and Sanford 1970;Khan and Shabbir 1974;Bullen, Granger, and Persaud 1982;Macharia 2013;Khader and Prakash 2014;Zhang et al 2015a).…”

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 is botanically indeterminate, but has been treated as an annual after domestication, yet the habit of perenniality is retained and the plants begin to resprout after the first harvest. In some cropping systems, this tendency is exploited using the "ratooning" practice (i.e. growing one or more crops on the rootstock of the first). Ratooning has declined for various reasons such as an increase in the prevalence of pests and diseases and overwintering risk. However, ratooning has many benefits such as no annual tillage before sowing, a well-established root system, and high yield. The three methods of ratooning offer flexibility to balance the environmental and economic benefits in agriculture. The greatest environmental benefits arise from perennial ratoon cropping of semi-wild cotton, and the greatest economic benefit is obtained from biannually cropping modern annual cultivars. However, an optimum solution would be provided by perennial cropping annual cultivars. To realize both environmental and economic benefits, research is needed in the following main areas: preventing the buildup of pests and diseases, breeding the most suitable cotton cultivars for ratooning, and developing light and simplified cultivation (LSC) systems for ratoon cultivation.

“…Owing to the lack of frost injury during the late growing period and cotton continuing to form new bolls, the yield of renewed cotton plants is greater than that of seed-sown cotton plants. No-tillage cropping of ratoon cotton not only conserves seeds and reduces both labor inputs and soil and water losses but also increases cotton production with limited labor and with ecological benefits (Bergman et al, 1983;Komala et al, 2019). Moreover, some agronomic techniques for use in ratoon cropping of cotton have been proposed, including pruning, pest and disease control, fertilization, and hormone regulation.…”

This paper reviews an important topic within the broader framework of the use of ratoon cotton for the development of a cost-saving and efficient method for the perennial production of hybrid cotton seeds. Cotton has a botanically indeterminate perennial growth habit and originated in the tropics. However, cotton has been domesticated as an annual crop in temperate areas worldwide. Ratoon cultivation has an important application value and is important for cotton production, breeding, and basic research. In particular, ratooned male-sterile lines have four advantages: an established root system, an indeterminate flowering habit, ratooning ability, and perennial maintenance of sterility in the absence of a matched maintainer. These advantages can help reduce the costs of producing F1 hybrid cotton seeds and can help breed high-yielding hybrid combinations because ratooning is a type of asexual reproduction that allows genotypes to remain unchanged. However, ratooning of cotton is highly complex and leads to problems, such as the accumulation of pests and diseases, decreased boll size, stand loss during severe winters, and harmful regrowth during mild winters, which need to be resolved. In summary, ratoon cotton has advantages and disadvantages for the production of hybrid cotton seeds, and future prospects of ratooning annual cotton for the perennial utilization of heterosis are promising if the mechanization of seed production can be widely applied in practice.

Perennial Cotton Ratoon Cultivation: A Sustainable Method for Cotton Production and Breeding

et al. 2022

Cotton production is challenged by high costs with multiple management and material inputs including seed, pesticide, and fertilizer application. The production costs can be decreased and profits can be increased by developing efficient crop management strategies, including perennial cotton ratoon cultivation. This review focuses on the role of ratoon cultivation in cotton productivity and breeding. In areas that are frost-free throughout the year, when the soil temperature is suitable for cotton growth in spring, the buds of survived plants begin to sprout, and so their flowering and fruiting periods are approximately 4–6 weeks earlier than those of sown cotton. Due to the absence of frost damage, the ratoon cotton continues to grow, and the renewed plants can offer a higher yield than cotton sown in the following season. Moreover, ratoon cultivation from the last crop without sowing can help conserve seeds, reduce labor inputs, and reduce soil and water loss. In this review, the preservation of perennial cotton germplasm resources, the classification and genome assignment of perennial species in the cotton gene pools, and effective strategies for the collection, preservation, identification, and utilization of perennial cotton germplasms are discussed. Ratoon cultivation is the main driver of cotton production and breeding, especially to maintain male sterility for the utilization and fixation of heterosis. Ratoon cultivation of cotton is worth adopting because it has succeeded in Brazil, China, and India. Therefore, taking advantages of the warm environment to exploit the indeterminant growth habit of perennial cotton for breeding would be an efficiency-increasing, cost-saving, and eco-friendly approach in frost-free regions. In the future, more attention should be given to ratooning perennial cotton for breeding male-sterile lines.
