Effects Of Multiple Yield Environments On Relative Maturity

Small-plot trials can often be considered derisory and insufficient in terms of design, protocol, and size when comparing them to real production situations.  Cotton growth, maturity, yield, and fiber quality are vital traits used to examine and evaluate the sensibility and economic risk of implementing new transgenic cotton cultivars under different environments and managerial circumstances.  Using multiple acre trials at different locations and environments is an exemplary way to evaluate and compare varieties heavily used in today’s cotton production.  Data procured from these trials will be able to demonstrate how each variety performs in a particularly setting; this information will narrate when and how important traits affect a certain variety’s agronomic and environmental suitability.
