1990 ALAB COTION VARIETY REPORT
A Report of the Performance of Cotton Varieties Tested in Alabama

INIROEUCTION
The Alabama Cotton Variety Test is a continuing evaluation of
available cotton varieties from private companies and state agricul-
tural experiment stations. Breeding lines that are likely to be
released as varieties are also tested. Tests are conducted on units
of the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station by Experiment Station
personnel. Cultural practices are those generally recommended by
Auburn University to farmers. Every effort is made to test the
varieties and present the results in an unbiased manner.
EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS
A randomized complete block experimental design with four replications
was used at each location. Row length varied at different locations
from 36 to 120 feet. Plot width was two rows at Prattville, Headland,
Belle Mina, Shorter, Tallassee, Fairhope, and Crossville, and one row
at Brewton and Monroeville. Climatic conditions at all locations except Belle
Mina were generally favorable during early season. At Belle Mina, a severe
wind stonn killed the seedling plants by sand blasting. The test was
replanted in mid-May. After early july, rainfall was less than normal at
all locations. In northern Alabama, the drouth was especially severe.

EXPLANATION OF DATA
Harvest of Seed Cotton
Tests at Prattville, Brewton, Monroeville, Tallassee, Belle Mina,
and Shorter were harvested by a mechanical spindle picker. 
Tests at
Headland and Crossville were harvested by hand. Average yield 
of seed
cotton was determined for each variety at each location.
Lint Percentacge
Seed cotton samples from each variety were ginned on a 10-saw 
gin.
Lint percentage was calculated by dividing weight of lint by weight of seed
cotton.
Yield of Lint
Lint yield was determined by multiplying the lint percentage
by yield of seed cotton.
Fiber Properties
Fiber qualities of all varieties were determined by the Auburn University
Textile Engineering fiber testing laboratory using High 
Volume Instrumentation
(HVI). Data are reported on two samples of each variety from Shorter,
Tallassee, Prattville, Crossville, and Belle Mina. One sample of each variety
was tested from the other locations.
Lext. This is the fiber length measured with 
the HVI instrument.
This measurement of length is about the same as the classer's staple.
Strength. A measure of breaking strength of a standard
fiber bundle with the holding jaws separated by 1/8 inch. Tex is a size
measurement of the fiber bundle and the data given are the force in grams
needed to break this bundle.
Elongation. A measure of the percentage stretch before the fibers break.
-2-
Micronaire. This measures the fineness of the cotton fibers. The
smaller the micronaire reading, the finer and/or more immature 
the fibers.
The desirable range of micronaire is 3.5 to 4.9.
Earliness
Where more than one harvest was made, earliness is reported as
the percentage of the total yield havested at the first picking.
Fusarium Wilt
Reaction of varieties to Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum
(fusarium wilt) was evaluated at the Plant Breeding Unit, Tallassee.
The varieties were grown in a field with a high natural incidence of
the fusarium wilt disease. During 1990 fusarium wilt was severe in the
test area. Severity of the disease varies from year to year and 
also
within the experimental area in the same year. Therefore, 
several
years' data are necessary to realistically characterize a variety's
wilt reaction. Stoneville 825 has consistently shown a high incidence
of wilt. All other reported varieties that have been tested 
for at
least 3 years have acceptable tolerance to fusarium wilt.
Verticillium wilt is being more frequently identified in 
northern
Alabama than previously. Varietal comparisons reported in 
table 11 do
not apply in any way to this disease.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Appropriate analyses of the yield data were made. For 
each
location, the variability in the test was measured 
and expressed as a
percentage of the test mean, i.e., the coefficient of variation
(C.V.). An indication of the magnitude of difference between variety
averages necessary to be considered a. real difference is given 
for
each location. It is designated Least Significance Difference

RECOMMENDED COTION VARIETIES FOR AILABAMA
The list of recommended varieties given below was prepared 
by the author
of this report and Keith Edmisten, Extension Agronomist, based on variety test
performance for at least 3 years. Varieties differ in performance 
at
individual locations, so selection should be based largely on variety
performance at a site that most nearly represents the 
grower's local
situation. As a general rule, a yield difference in the order 
of 10 percent
is needed for varieties to be considered truly different. The recommended
varieties are listed in order of 3-year averge lint yield.
