Twelve cultivars were evaluated in 2012 at Lamesa and Lubbock, TX, for lint yield, fiber quality, and water-use efficiency under four irrigation levels.  These varieties included five commercial varieties and seven expirimental varieties.  Irrigation levels were based on evapotranspiration replacement rates of 0, 30, 60, and 90%.
