Short Staple Variety Trial, Greenlee County, 1993

Abstract

Ten short staple cotton varieties including four New Mexico acalas, one New Mexico experimental acala, three California acalas, one hybrid acala and a rust resistant variety from Mexico were tested in the 1993 variety study. The highest yielding variety was Maxxa with a lint yield of 832 pounds per acre. In addition to lint yields; percent lint, boll weights, plant heights and plant populations are shown. Average boll weights are compared between this location and three other elevations varying from 1400 feet to 4100 feet above sea level.
