1992 ALABAMA COTTON VARIETY REPORT
A Report of the Performance of Cotton Varieties Tested in Alabama
K. M. Glass and D. I. Bransby'
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 Auburn University to farmers. Data are
reported on an irrigated test at 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
A randomized complete block experimental design with four replications
was used at each location. Row length varied at different locations from 20
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. Rainfall was generally adequate at all locations during the
spring. The harvest season was warm and favorable for maturing and
harvesting the crop.

EXPLANATION OF DATA
Harvest of Seed Cotton
Tests at Prattville, Brewton, Monroeville, Belle Mina, Headland, and
Shorter were harvested by a mechanical spindle picker. The test at
Crossville was harvested by hand. Average yield of seed cotton 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 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 a single composite sample of
each variety from all locations except the regional tests at Shorter and
Belle Mina.
Length. 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.
-6-
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 harvested 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 1991 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.
Verticillium wilt is being identified more frequently in northern
Alabama than previously reported. Varietal comparisons reported in Table 
13
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 as the Least
Significance Difference (L.S.D..os).
