| dc.description.abstract | Thirty six short staple varieties and thirteen long staple varieties were grown in a replicated field trial on the Safford Agricultural Center in Graham county. Stoneville 324 was the highest yielding short staple variety in the trial with a yield of 4733 pounds per acre of seed cotton. The average yields of short staple varieties was greater than in 1991. Long staple cotton did not fare as well with the weather as did the short staple. The yield of S-6 was about 100 pounds of seed cotton less than in 1991. The good news is that other long staple varieties are being developed that can out yield S -6 in the high desert area. O & A Pima was the highest yielding variety with a yield that exceeded S-6 by about 500 pounds of seed cotton per acre. S-7 followed closely behind O & A Pima 4 and both matured quicker than S-6. Heat unit data from the past couple of years are given in this report along with the average heat unit accumulation. | |
