1996 Low Desert Upland Cotton Advanced Strains Testing

Abstract

Upland cotton advanced strains and commercial check comparison varieties were evaluated in replicated field studies in 1996 on Cooperator fields in Queen creek, Buckeye, and Gila Bend, AZ. Eight seed companies submitted advanced strains plus a commercially available check of their choice for each site. The highest lint yields for advanced strains entries by location were: J & S Research JSX 12 (1890 lb./acre), Delta Pine and Land Co. DPX 1075 (1420 lb/acre) and Delta Pine and Land Co. DPX 1075 (2510 lb/acre) at Queen Creek, Buckeye and Gila Bend, Arizona respectively.
