Conventional Varieties Show Promise
"The varieties were grown against competitive checks and initial results (grown in drought-stricken Texas) showed yields that were competitive with the best checks, and fiber quality was superior as well," says Jones.
Evaluating fiber from new variety trials is usually limited to AFIS and HVI testing, but thanks to Cotton Incorporated's in-house fiber processing and fabric development capabilities, researchers are able to see how these cottons perform and verify the correlation between the fiber properties of these new varieties and their performance….all the way to a finished product.
"Because of these capabilities, we are able to take cotton from dirt to shirt and benefit from the various evaluation stages," says Jones.
