ABSTRACT
A study was initiated in 1996 to determine the economic feasibility of variable rate application of lime for cotton in Missouri. On a field at East Prairie, Missouri in 1996, cotton yields were significantly greater when lime was variable rate applied as compared to uniform lime application. Economic returns were increased $11 per acre. On a field at Portageville, Missouri, three year average cotton lint yields were not significantly different between conventional and variable rate lime application systems.
