This project outlines an example of an irrigated cotton production system for a representative location in central Arizona (Maricopa; elev. 1,175 ft). The system integrates all current guidelines & recommendations disseminated by the University of Arizona. Adjustments in this `strategic outline will be required for actual implementation due to the crop growth, pest infestations, and weather conditions encountered during the season. Changes in this system also would be necessary to design a similarly integrated system for other locations or other transgenic varieties in Arizona.
