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 Alabama Cooperative Extension System to producers. Data are reported on an irrigated test at Belle Mina and Headland. 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. The maturity category for each variety was chosen by the company or cooperator. Deltapine NuCotn 33B and Sure-Grow 747 were included in both early and full season tests for comparison. Plot size was two rows at Prattville, Headland, Belle Mina, Shorter, and Fairhope. 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. COTTON VARIETY RESPONSE TO RENIFORM NEMATODE Cotton varieties were evaluated in a producer’s field on a sandy loam soil in Huxford, Alabama, by Dr. Kathy McLean of Auburn University's Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology. This field was naturally infested with reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniform) and had been continuously cropped in cotton. All varieties were evaluated with and without the use of a chemical nematicide to give an indication of possible tolerance to reniform nematodes. Telone II was applied to all treated plots at six gallons per acre two weeks before planting by injecting the chemical 12 inches deep with shanks directly in the row. Di-Syston was applied to all plots at seven pounds per acre at planting in the seed furrow with chemical granular applicators attached to the planter. Plots consisted of one row, 25 feet long with a 36-inch row spacing. Plots were arranged in a split plot design with six replications. All plots were maintained with standard production practices and were non-irrigated. Population densities of reniform nematode were determined at planting and at harvest. The season was cool and dry initially but adequate moisture through the season produced good cotton growth. Reniform nematode numbers increased in all plots regardless of variety or nematicide. The application of Telone II increased average yields over all varieties by 298 pounds of seed cotton per acre. Table 26 shows actual lint yields and nematode counts for both treated and untreated cotton trials. EXPLANATION OF DATA Harvest of Seed Cotton A 50-boll sample was taken by hand for ginning; then test plots at all locations were harvested by a mechanical spindle picker. Average seed cotton yield was determined for each variety at each location. 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 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. 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. Uniformity: This is the ratio between the mean length and upper half mean length of the fibers and is expressed as a percentage. Cotton with a low uniformity may be difficult to process. 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. Breeder lines and selected varieties were grown in a field with a high natural incidence of the fusarium wilt disease. In 2001, incidence of Fusarium wilt was moderate. The incidence ratings can be found in the 2001 National Fusarium Wilt Cotton Report, Departmental Series No. 238. 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).
