The introduction of the 15-inch row John Deere PRO 12 VRS spindle picker will allow producers to grow cotton in narrow rows without a 3 to 5-cent discount often applied to narrow row stripper cotton. However, for successful production on the flat land of the delta and the bottomland soils in the hills, 15-inch row cotton must be grown on a raised bed system with seeding rates similar to wide row production. Therefore, a study was conducted in 2005 on a Marietta silt loam soil to evaluated bed systems and seeding rates. The 15-inch rows were planted with two 15-inch rows per 38-inch bed and four 15 inch rows per 76 inch bed. The seeding rate for these two treatments and the standard 38 inch row bed was 55,000 seed/acre. The two 15-inch rows per 38 inch row bed treatments were also seeded at 27,500 and 82,500 seed per acre. The gin turnout, lint yield, plant height and population at harvest will be presented.
