It's All About Options When Choosing Varieties
Tommy Horton
Boman says many producers are planting enough of a new variety in on-farm trials to deliver several modules to a gin. The cotton is then processed, and yield and fiber properties are evaluated. Gins are providing that information back to producers, and many decisions are made as to whether a variety is acceptable.
All parties can also discuss the particular variety and eventually make a decision at the end of the season.
Boman echoes Evans' thoughts about the big investment that producers make on the front end of the season with their seed purchases. Not surprisingly, he says it's more important that producers determine what kinds of wilt diseases exist and if they have root knot nematodes in their fields before making such a huge investment in seed varieties.
