Abstract

Variety selection is one of the most important decisions a grower will make contributing to the success of a cotton crop. It is critical, that a grower have as much information as possible in order to make an informed decision regarding variety selection. In an effort to help supply reliable variety performance information, the University of Arizona conducts a statewide Upland cotton variety testing program. This program consists of a few different types of trials. The first is a small plot evaluation of commercially available varieties along with experimental varieties, and is conducted in 3 locations across Arizona including; Yuma, Maricopa, and Safford. This testing program is called the University of Arizona Upland Cotton Advanced Strains Testing Program.
