Preliminary Evaluation of Sized Cotton Planting Seed

B. J. Phipps, A. S. Phillips and B. J. Tanner


 
ABSTRACT

Sized planting seed of two varieties were evaluated for seedling emergence and yield. The small seed had a poor seedling emergence and the largest seed size of each variety had an emergence that was not as good as that of the sizes that are slightly smaller. The composite was almost as good in emergence and yield as the best sizes of the sized seed. The better sizes appear to break a soil crust and allow the small seed to emerge.
