A series of nitrogen management experiments have been conducted over the past 11 years around the state to develop and refine fertilizer nitrogen (N) recommendations for irrigated desert cotton production. Stability analysis was used to summarize the data and to determine which of the four treatment regimes is most stable over a range of environments. Results indicate that the feedback treatment (treatment 3) was the most stable treatment for both Upland and Pima cottons and provided the best probability for a higher yield under high yielding environments. The untreated control treatment (treatment 1) was the least stable over a wide range of environments. These results further validate the ‘feedback’ approach to management of fertilizer N.
