On-farm strip trials were conducted to increase awareness of PhytoGen cottonseed varieties and further evaluate their performance compared to other commercial varieties in Texas and the mid-South. PhytoGen varieties PHY 370 WR, PHY 480 WR and PHY 485 WRF were included in all trials which were conducted on several different soil types. About ˝ of the trials were irrigated. Most trials included 5 - 8 varieties and each variety was normally planted on 2 to 5 acres. Yields, lint quality, plant mapping data and other results from these trials should provide valuable information to growers, consultants, dealers and university personnel as PhytoGen varieties become more widely planted.
