Due to the rising costs of cotton seed, and the rapid introduction of new varieties into the marketplace, there is a great need for timely and robust cotton variety performance information.  On-farm variety trials provide valuable information to producers with regard to performance in a broad range of environments, soil types, management styles, and planting dates.  Such trials were conducted across the U.S. cotton belt, and were supported by Cotton Incorporated and State Commodity Boards.  Data from such trials will be avaible to producers in the SeedMatrix database and in other platforms.
