A Comparison of Two Cotton Cultivars Differing in Maturity for Within-Canopy Fiber Properties

Philip J. Bauer1, Jonn A. Foulk1, and Gary R. Gamble2. (1) USDA-ARS, 2611 West Lucas Street, Florence, SC 29501, (2) USDA-ARS, Cotton Quality Research Station, P.O. Box 792, Clemson, SC 29633

A two-year study was conducted near Florence, South Carolina using DPL 555Bt/RR and Paymaster 1218Bt/RR. Lint yield and HVI fiber properties of the whole crop were measured. A meter of row was hand-harvested by canopy position in each plot and AFIS fiber properties were determined on individual bolls.
