2023 UGA On-Farm Cotton Variety Evaluation Program
2023 UGA On-Farm Cotton Variety Evaluation Program (AP 110-8) In 2010, the UGA cotton agronomists implemented this variety testing program. Our industry partners were asked to provide their most well-suited varieties for Georgia. Historically, the varieties evaluated in this trial have accounted for nearly 75% of the planted acreage in Georgia in the same year. These varieties were planted in replicated trials in growers’ fields throughout cotton-producing regions of Georgia, through coordination with the county Extension agents. The trials were managed and replicated by the grower with the assistance of the coordinating county agent to achieve realistic and statistically sound results.
