Twenty-four short staple cotton varieties were compared in a strip trial on the Safford Agricultural Center, 15 of which were seen for the first time, 7 of which were acala varieties from New Mexico. Three varieties, BR 110, Delta Pine Experimental 7124-293, and Northrup King KNX111 (now KC 311) exceeded the yield of the standard variety DP 90 by 12.6 %, 8.1 %, and 4 %, respectively. Other new cultivars that performed well but didn't exceed the yield of the standard, were HYP 1211, HYP 274, and Acala 2745. The first 2 are hybrids supplied by Dr. Warner Fisher, the latter is an experimental acala from New Mexico State University. Per acre values were affected by lint value as well as lint yield per acre. Using a value of $0.65/lb for New Mexico acala and $0.56/lb for Delta Pine acala, Acala 2745 produced $975/ac compared with DP 90's $916/ac and BR 110's $1031/ac.

Three upland cotton varielies--Stoneville 506, Deltapine 20, and Deltapine 77--were planted on 4 dates in 1988 at the Maricopa Agricultural Center and observed for flowering boll opening and lint yield. Results from the 1988 studies and those from similar tests in 1985-1987 are being used to determine the relationship of accumulated heat units to the timing of key stages in crop development.

Cotton lint yields in the variety trials in Graham county were higher than the 1987 yields by close to 200 pounds per acre. Two varieties, BR 110 and NK KNX 111 (now KC 311) yielded more than DP 90 at the Thatcher site, the highest yield being 1,569 pounds of lint per acre. In Eden, DP 90 was the highest yielding variety with 1,237 pounds of lint per acre. The New Mexico acalas didn't yield as much lint per acre as the top yielding varieties, but with 1988's premium, produced substantial income per acre. In Thatcher the highest yielding acala produced $861 per acre compared with BR 110's $910, whereas in Eden the highest yielding acala produced $736 per acre against DP 90's $717.
