ABSTRACT

Data from an ultra-narrow row cotton plant population density study at Milan, TN, were used to evaluate the influence of plant population density on net revenues. Partial budgeting and marginal analysis techniques were used to determine the profit maximizing plant population density using North Delta Spot Cotton Quotations for the 1997/1998 marketing year. Results indicate a seeding rate considerably lower than the rate required to maximize yields can be used to maximize profits in UNRC production.
