Statewide Growing Conditions
2012 PERFORMANCE TESTS
Objectives and Procedures
The Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station established an
official cotton testing program in 1980 to provide Kansas
growers with unbiased performance comparisons of cotton
varieties marketed in the state. Companies enter varieties of
their choice and pay entry fees to cover part of the costs of
conducting the tests.
Descriptive information is presented with the results for
each test. This information, including soil type,
establishment methods, irrigation, harvest dates, and
growing conditions unique to that location, can help explain
test and/or variety performance.
In addition to lint yield and the yield as a percentage of test
average, each table includes observations on cotton fiber
quality. Each bale receives a rating on micronaire (Mic),
length, uniformity index, strength, and color grade.
At the bottom of each column, the least significant
difference (LSD) is listed at the 0.05 level. These values
indicate how large of a difference is needed to be confident
that one variety is superior to another. Differences between
varieties that are equal to or greater than the 0.05 LSD have
only a 1 in 20 chance of being due to chance or error.
The coefficient of variability (CV) provides an estimate of
the consistency of the results of a particular test. In these
tests, CV less than 10% generally indicates reliable, uniform
data, whereas CV of 10 to 15% are not uncommon and
generally indicate the data are acceptable for rough
comparisons. Tests with CV greater than 15% still may be
useful, but variety comparisons lack precision.
Harvest Statistics
The 2012 crop produced an estimated 65,000 bales. Yields
averaged 578 pounds per acre, which is up from the
previous year's yield of 510 pounds per acre. Harvested
acreage, at 54,000 acres, is down 11,000 acres from last year
(Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service, Topeka).
Weather conditions throughout the cotton growing region in
Kansas, especially south central and southwest, were
dominated by above-normal temperatures and heat unit
accumulations and below-normal precipitation. At all
testing locations in 2012, in-season precipitation was several
inches below normal along with above-normal heat unit
accumulation.
Despite
challenging
environmental
conditions, all sites that were planted were harvested for
yield.
A positive aspect to the heat was the accumulation of
heat units, typically a leading challenge in Kansas cotton
production. All locations had cumulative heat unit
accumulation significantly above normal. Although in some
cases drought stress limited boll number per plant, the heat
units allowed for a higher percentage of harvestable bolls
and had a positive impact on fiber quality. In scenarios
where irrigation was adequate, cotton yields were quite
productive.
Production
Detailed information on planting, fertilizing, weed control,
and disease and insect control can be found in the Cotton
Production in Kansas publication issued by the Kansas State
University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative
Extension Service at:
