1995 ALABAMA COTTON VARIETY 
REPORT
A REPORT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF COTTON VARIETIES TESTED 
IN ALABAMA

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 
Service to
producers. Data is 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. A comparative 
basis for
early season was DES 119 and full season was Deltapine Acala 90. The maturity 
category
for each variety was chosen by the company or cooperator. Plot width was two 
rows at
Prattville, Headland, Belle Mina, Shorter, and Fairhope, and one row at Monroeville.
A randomized complete block experimental design with four replications was used in
both tests at each location. Row length varied at different locations from 20 to 120 feet.

At most locations, rainfall was inadequate and yields were reduced. At Fairhope,
yields were reduced due to Hurricane Erin in early August with 50+ mph wind. All cotton
was laid flat on the ground, which increased the potential for boll r ot and created problems
harvesting and in using ground spraying equipment. Hurricane Opal occurred in early
October with 11 inches of rain. Full season cotton was again blown over with some lint lost
on the ground. There were no varieties that withstood the storms better than others. Most
plants regained a 450" angle and most initiated growing new terminals on secondary branches.
All locations had moderate to severe infestations of bollworm and budworm.
EXPLANATION OF DATE
Harvest of Seed Cotton
Tests at Belle Mina, Headland, and Shorter were harvested by a mechanical spindle
picker. The tests at Prattville, Monroeville, and Fairhope were 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 1 0-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.

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.
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 oxysporumf 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 1991 and 1993, 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
-3-
previously reported. Varietal comparisons reported in Table 19 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..0
5
).
