The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station announces the release of a noncommercial breeding line of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., designated Arkot 8712, which was derived from the double cross of F1 (Deltapine 50 / Miscot 7913-51 // F1 (Miscot T8-27 / Miscot 7803-52). The germplasm lines Miscot 7913-51 (Bourland, 1988), Miscot T8-27 (Bourland and Bridge, 1988) and Miscot 7803-51 (Bourland and White, 1989) were developed by crossing lines from the Texas A&M Multi-Adversity Resistance Cotton Breeding program (Bird, 1982) by lines adapted to the Mississippi River Delta region. Deltapine 50 was a widely grown, smooth-leaf, early maturing cultivar released in the early 1980's.
