M. Glass, C. D. Monks, and C. H. Burmester1 INTRODUCTION The Alabama Cotton Variety Test is a continuing evaluation of available cotton varieties from private companies and state agricultural 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 the Auburn University Extension SYSTEM to producers. Data are reported on an irrigated test at both Belle Mina and Shorter. No other tests received scheduled supplemental irrigation. Every effort is made to test the varieties and present the results in an unbiased manner. EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS Tests were split into early season and full season varieties. Deltapine DP 5409, Deltapine Acala 90, Deltapine NuCotn 33B, and Suregrow 125 were included in both early and full season tests for comparison. The maturity category for each variety was chosen by the company or cooperator. Plot size was two rows at Prattville, Headland, Belle Mina, Shorter, and Fairhope, and one row at Monroeville. Row length varied at different locations from 20 to 120 feet. A randomized complete block experimental design with four replications was used in all tests. EXPLANATION OF DATA Harvest of Seed Cotton Tests at all locations were harvested by a mechanical spindle picker and plot samples were picked by hand. Average seed cotton yield was determined for each variety at each location. Lint Percentage Seed cotton samples from each variety were ginned on a 10-saw gin. Lint percentage was calculated by dividing weight of lint by seed cotton weight. Yield of Lint Lint yield was determined by multiplying the lint percentage by seed cotton yield. Fiber Properties Fiber qualities of all varieties were measured by the Auburn University Textile Engineering Fiber Physical Testing Laboratory using High Volume Instrumentation (HVI). Data are reported on a single composite sample of each variety from all locations including the regional tests at Shorter and Belle Mina. Length This is the fiber length measured with the HVI instrument. This measurement of length is similar to the classer’s staple. 1 Glass is an Agricultural Program Associate, Monks is an Extension Cotton and Soybean Specialist, and Burmester is an Extension Agronomist in the Auburn University Department of Agronomy and Soils. 4 ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION Strength This is 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. Micronaire This measures the fineness of the cotton fibers. The smaller the micronaire reading, the finer and/or more immature the fibers. Earliness Earliness is reported as the percentage of the total yield harvested at the first picking where more than one harvest was made. Fusarium Wilt Reaction of varieties to Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum (fusarium wilt) was evaluated at the Plant Breeding Unit, Tallassee. Selected varieties were grown in a field with a high natural incidence of the fusarium wilt disease. In 1998, there was no incidence of Fusarium wilt. 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 as the Least Significance Difference (L.S.D..05). LOCATION OF EXPERIMENTS Tennessee Valley Research and Extension Center B.E. Norris, Supt. H.E. Burgess D.P. Moore, Supt. J.S.
