Evans is also a prime example

It's All About Options When Choosing Varieties

Tommy Horton

Evans is also a prime example of why it's better to plant several different varieties. From a yield performance standpoint, most Extension specialists always recommend having a diverse mix of cotton varieties.

In Evans' case, that will result in a probable variety mix in 2010 that includes FiberMax, Delta & Pine Land, All-Tex, PhytoGen and NexGen.

Another consideration for producers as they choose varieties is the financial investment made in seed purchases at the beginning of the season.

"The front-end investment in seed is pretty important," says Evans. "And there is no doubt that there is a lot of pressure. It's another example of what we face when growing cotton in Texas."
