Short Staple Cotton Advanced Strains Trial, Safford Agricultural Center, 1996

Abstract

Thirty five short staple advanced strains/varieties were grown in a replicated field on the Safford Agricultural Center in 1996. These included entries from Delta Pine, Olvey and Associates, Australia McDaniels, Sure-Grow, Germains, Georga, NAIZSU, and Terra. Delta Pine Experimental 1075 and Olvey and Associates 63 lead the trial with yields over 3.5 bales. Twelve 'varieties' exceeded 3 bales per acre, including 6 varieties from Australia (eg. IF 1003). Much agronomic information is included in the paper as well as HVI values for each variety.
