Narrow-row cotton production is perceived as an attractive production system to many Mississippi cotton producers. Producer interest in narrow-row cotton is supported by popular information which indicates that narrow-row cotton may result in increased yields, reduced cost of production and thus greater profit than normally associated with 38- or 40-inch row spacings. Producers also have an interest in producing cotton in row spacings complementary with other row crops which are quite often grown in 30-inch rows. The availability of spindle cotton harvesters suitable for harvesting narrow-row cotton has made it feasible for cotton growers to consider narrow-row spacings as an alternative to conventional-row spacings.
