Cotton Variety Placement and Management

As everyone knows, cotton varieties are being introduced and pulled from the market quicker than ever before.  The speed with which varieties come and go can make it very difficult to determine where to place a given variety and how to properly manage that variety throughout the course of a growing season.  In an effort to answer some of these questions, I have assembled a chart covering most of the major varieties that outlines a number of placement and management factors.  These charts were developed based on my experience with these varieties as well as from input provided by seed providers.  Keep in mind that these charts are provided for guidance only.  Gather as much outside information as possible and use your personal experience with these varieties when determining where to place a variety and how to manage a variety.  Charts may be accessed using the links below.
