A study was conducted in 2003, 2004, and 2005 on a Marietta silt loam soil (Verona, MS) and a Falaya silt loam soil (Falkner, MS) and a Dubbs very fine sandy loam soil in 2004 and 2005 at Clarksdale, MS. Studies were conducted to evaluate cotton response to different row pattern production systems. The row patterns used in the study were 15, 30, 38, and 60-inch row solid cotton, 15-inch rows with a 2 x 1 skip row (2 rows of cotton with a 30-inch skip), 15-inch row 2 x 2 skip row (2 rows with a 45-inch skip), 30-inch rows with a 2 x 1 skip row (2 rows with a 45-inch skip), and 38-inch rows with a 2 x 1 skip row (2 rows with a 76-inch skip). Due to the wet soil conditions in 2003, planting at Verona and Falkner was delayed until late May. In 2004 and 2005 cotton was planted in late April at Verona and early May at Falkner. The Clarksdale location was planted in late April of 2004 and 2005. The presentation will include 3 year data (2003-2005) for Falkner and Verona and 2-year (2004-2005) data for Clarksdale.
