In Georgia, DPL555BR is grown on over 75% of the cotton acreage. The introduction of FiberMax FM1880B2F with similar full season highly vegetative growth characteristics may provide an alternative variety with advanced fiber characteristics. A summary of FM1880B2F yield and quality results from all available 2006 trials compared with the commercial standard variety will determine if this new variety can compete with the high-yielding standard and address quality issues that continue to impact Georgia cotton. Results of 25 OVT and Extension trails will be summarized and economic comparisons made.
