Low commodity prices and high production costs have led producers to search for less expensive ways to produce a cotton crop. Skip-row cotton has received much attention of late as a possible avenue to achieve this goal. In 2001, 2-n-1 (full), 4- n-1 (full), 2-n-1 (modified) and 4-n-1 (modified) skip-row patterns were examined in four locations across Georgia. Yields and Net Returns, using a partial budget analysis, were calculated for these patterns compared to conventionally planted cotton. Collectively, these data showed that full skips offered larger savings opportunities than modified skips, and that 2- row patterns offered larger savings opportunities than 4-row patterns. No skip-row pattern yielded significantly more than the conventional planting pattern, nor did any skip-row pattern significantly increase net returns. However, trends in the data suggest that a 2-n-1 (modified) pattern has the potential to increase net returns especially in lower yielding areas. In tests where the maximum yield was less than 1000 lbs/A this pattern consistently had numerically greater returns than the conventionally planted cotton. It must also be considered that the partial budget analysis was extremely conservative and left out many savings opportunities that could be attained in certain situations.
