Short Staple Regional Cotton Variety Trial, Safford Agricultural Center, 1996

Thirty four short staple varieties were grown in a replicated field trial on the Safford Agricultural Center. Due to a replant in late May, the results are viewed as a late-plant situation. DP 35B was the highest yielding variety with a yield of 1353 pounds of lint per acre with DP 90 in second place but with 80 pounds of lint less per acre. Agronomic values for the plants at harvest and HVI data for lint quality are tabulated in this paper
