M. Glass, C. D. Monks, C. H. Burmester, and Edzard van Santen Advsior III, Natl. Res. Prog., Associate Professor and Extension Cotton Agronomist, Extension Agronomist, and Professor 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 irrigated tests 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. Plot size was two rows at Prattville, Headland, Belle Mina, and Fairhope. Row length varied at different locations from 20 to 120 feet. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used in all tests. A dryland Flex RR Cotton trial was planted at four locations: Belle Mina, Prattville, Headland and Fairhope. Additionally, an early season and full season Flex RR trial were irrigated at both Belle Mina and Headland.. EXPLANATION OF DATA HARVEST OF SEED COTTON A 50-boll sample was taken by hand for ginning, then test plots were harvested by a mechanical spindle picker at all locations. 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. 2009 ALABAMA COTTON VARIETY REPORT FIBER PROPERTIES 5 Fiber qualities of all varieties were measured by the USDA-AMS Classing Office in Birmingham, Alabama using High Volume Instrumentation (HVI). Data are reported on a single composite sample of each variety from each location including the regional tests at Shorter and Belle Mina. Micronaire: This measures the fineness of the cotton fibers. The smaller the micronaire reading, the finer and/or more immature the fibers. 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. Uniformity: This is the ratio between the mean length and the upper half mean length of the fibers and is expressed as a percentage. Cotton with a low length 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 released varieties were grown in a field with a high natural incidence of the fusarium wilt disease. In 2009, incidence of Fusarium wilt ranged from moderate to high. The incidence ratings can be found in the 2009 National Fusarium Wilt Cotton Report, Departmental Series No. 304 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.D0..10). Appropriate care should be taken when using multi-location or multi-year averages. The genotype x environment interaction is often a significant source of variation, indicating that the varietal rankings are not consistent from one location to another or from one year to the next. Using multi-environment means in these instances can be grossly misleading. It is for this reason that summary tables showing variety ranks by location are included in the report ACKNOWLEDgMENTS Appreciation is also expressed to the following supervisory personnel of the outlying units whose quality work makes this a reliable source of information for farmers in their areas: Chet Norris and David Harkins, Tennessee Valley Research and Extension Center; Don Moore, Prattville Research Field; Larry Wells and Brian Gamble, Wiregrass Research and Extension Center; Ronnie McDaniel, Malcomb Pegues and Jarrod Jones, Gulf Coast Research and Extension Center. 6 ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION TABLE 1.
