This project was conducted by the Extension Cotton Specialists Working Group (ECSWG). The ECSWG was founded in 2007 by extension cotton specialists across the cotton growing regions of the USA. The cotton specialists hope to enhance the understanding of new products, varieties or technology by examining them over a wide range of environments and agronomic practices. Uniform trial protocol implementation and cooperation of counterparts across state lines will provide for powerful data to answer new questions on upcoming products and technology.
