Arizona Upland Cotton Variety Testing Program, 2005

Abstract

The upland cotton variety trial has been conducted in Arizona every year for the past 6 years to evaluate several varieties of upland cotton. Varieties planted at each location are planted side-by-side to evaluate performance and yield under the same growing conditions. Eleven locations were planted in Arizona in 2005. These locations include two locations in the Yuma Region (Yuma County), two locations in the Western Region (La Paz and Mohave Counties), four locations in the Central Region (Maricopa and Pinal Counties), one location in the Southern Region (Pima County), and two locations in the Eastern Region (Graham and Cochise Counties). Each site had between seven and eleven varieties evaluated for yield and quality of lint.
