Studies were conducted in 2006, 2007, and 2008 to compare narrow-row, twin-row, and conventional-row patterns in cotton production.  The first part of this study showed that narrow-row and twin-row patterns produced higher lint yields.  In this paper, High Volume Instrument (HVI) and Advanced Fiber Information System (AFIS) data were investigated for differences in fiber quality associated with row-pattern.
