Seedling Emergence and Lint Yield of DP-90 Seed of Different Densities

Abstract

Six lots of Deltapine (DP) 90 of different seed densities were planted at three planting rates in four tests in Arizona in 1985. The lowest density seed lot had significantly lower standard germination, cold test germination, field emergence, and lint yield than other seed lots. The highest density seed lot had slightly higher lint yield and field emergence than other lots on an average.
