ABSTRACT

Data were compiled from the internal testing program over 11 years of Bayer CropScience Stripper Cotton Breeding Program in Lubbock, Texas. Correlation was performed on each location between lint yield and several varietal characteristics. Gin turnout and visual were the only two characteristics that showed high positive correlation. Lint percent showed a weaker association. Maturity, storm resistance and the fiber characteristics of length, strength and micronaire had little or no association with lint yield.
