Effect of Planting Date on Yield of Upland and Pima Cotton Varieties at Marana

Abstract

A single field experiment was conducted at Marana Agricultural Center (2000 fl elevation) to evaluate the response of one Pima (G. barbadense L) and two Upland (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cotton varieties to three different planting dates. Planting dates ranged from 12 April to 16 May. In general there was decreasing lint yield with later planting dates.
