Results and Discussion:Agronomic data including plant population, nodes above white flower (NAWF), bollstorm resistance, and final plant map data are included in Tables 1-3.Significant differences were noted for all yield and economic parameters (Table 4).Lint turnout averaged 27.7% with a high of 31.6% and low of 24.4% for FiberMax2011GT and NexGen 2051B2RF, respectively. Bur cotton yield averaged 5202lb/acre and ranged from a high of 5524 lb/acre for Stoneville 4288B2F to a low of4897 lb/acre for NexGen 2051B2RF. Lint yields varied from a low of 1193 lb/acre(NexGen 2051B2RF) to a high of 1643 lb/acre (FiberMax 2011GT). Lint loanvalues ranged from a low of $0.5392/lb to a high of $0.5740/lb for CroplanGenetics 3156B2RF and PhytoGen 367WRF, respectively. When adding lint andseed value, total value ranged from a high of $1202.26/acre for FiberMax 2011GTto a low of $936.26/acre for NexGen 2051B2RF. After subtracting ginning, seedcosts and technology fees, the net value/acre among varieties ranged from a highof $965.68/acre (FiberMax 2011GT) to a low of $704.92/acre (NexGen2051B2RF), a difference of $260.76.No significant differences were observed among varieties for most fiber qualityparameters at this location (Table 5), with exception of +b (yellowness). Testaverages for micronaire, staple, uniformity and strength were 3.9, 35.4, 81.6% and30.4 g/tex, respectively. Elongation averaged 10.2% across all varietiesand leafgrades were mostly 2. Color grade components of Rd (reflectance) and +b(yellowness) averaged 78.7 and 8.5, respectively and resulted in color grades ofmostly 21 and 31.These data indicate that substantial differences can be obtained in terms of netvalue/acre due to variety selection. Additional multi-site and multi-year appliedresearch is needed to evaluate varieties across a series of environments.Acknowledgments:Disclaimer Clause:Appreciation is expressed to Luke Steelman for the use of his land, equipment andlabor for this demonstration.
