Short Staple Variety Trial, Greenlee County, 1995

Abstract

Eight short staple cotton varieties including four New Mexico acalas and four California acalas were tested in the 1995 variety study. The highest yielding variety was 1517-95 with a lint yield of 1030 pounds per acre. The average yield was nearly 100 pounds per acre higher than the previous year. In addition to lint yields; percent lint, plant heights, height to node ratios and plant populations are shown. A lint yield comparison for 1991, 1993, 1994 and 1995 is included in this paper.
