The 2014 TN Cotton Variety Trial Results Publication (PB1742) is now available online. This document contains detailed results from all harvested trails in the 2014 University of Tennessee Cotton Variety Testing program.  This expanded publication follows the recently published summary publication, 2015 TN Cotton Variety Guide (W285), which was released a few weeks ago.

The tech-trait diversity in the top performers highlights the excellent yield potential, stability and fiber quality currently available in commercial cultivars irregardless of tech platform.   Given many of these currently-available varieties have been moved forward into new tech-trait platforms, it appears producers will be deciding between several very viable options for many years to come.

Trial results reported from the 2014 season include four Official Variety Trials (OVTs) and eleven County Standard Trials (CSTs) scattered throughout TN’s cotton producing counties.  Additionally, in-season plant measurements were reported for the OVTs and multi-year averages were calculated and included for both the OVTs and CSTs.

Again, special thanks to all those who participated and/or contributed to the program during the 2014 growing season.
