I wonder if the Lint Cotton yield is not supposed to be Seed Cotton Yield. Is six bale cotton a real yield?
These are lint weights. Note the lint gin turnout % in the right hand column. The lint turnout % is higher in the OVTs than a farmer’s field because they are ginned on a small gin at the Experiment Stataion. Also, there is an end row yield bump with short rows in the OVTs. The OVTs are meant to compare one variety to another in that particular OVT. The yield potential of these varieties under ideal management with dry weather during boll opening and little to no boll rot are much higher than our older varieties. In the arid conditions with irrigation (furrow or drip), cloudless days and cooler nights in California and Arizona 4+ bale per acre cotton is a possibility so with under ideal growing and harvest conditions much 3 to 4 bales per acre are possible in Georgia.
