2002 Low Desert Upland Cotton Advanced Strains Testing Program

Abstract

Upland cotton advanced strains, commercial check comparison varieties, and national standard comparison varieties were evaluated in replicated field studies at three locations in 2002. The test sites include Safford, AZ, Maricopa, AZ., and Yuma, AZ. Six seed companies submitted a maximum of five advanced strains entries per location. Three commercial check varieties were used at each site for comparison purposes and included SG747, DP33B, and ST474. Four National Standard varieties were used at the Safford and Maricopa sites for comparison purposes and included Acala 1517-99, Atlas, DP458BR, and ST4892BR.
