2025 University Of Tennessee Cotton Variety Testing Average Tables Now Available

JACKSON, TENNESSEE

Below you will find three average tables from the 2025 University of Tennessee Cotton Variety Testing Program.  The first link contains the averages from the 40 entries planted at six official variety trial locations.  The second link consists of two tables, the first table containing the averages from 13 XtendFlex varieties planted at eleven county standard trial locations and the second table contains averages from 6 Enlist varieties planted at seven county standard trial locations.  Special thanks to the USDA-AMS Quality Assurance Office in Memphis- I received the last of the quality data from their office this past Saturday.  These average tables are a precursor to the complete report, which will likely be complete later this week.  

There is quite a bit to unpack from these tables, especially given the 2025 growing season.  Interpretation of this data will be one of the main points of discussion as we move into the 2025-2026 winter meetings.

You can access the average tables by clicking the links below.

Table OVT2: Average lint yield, gin turnout, and fiber quality of the 40 entries in the 2025 Official Variety Trials conducted in Gift, Grand Junction, Jackson (early and late planted), Milan, and Ridgely locations, listed by yield rank.

Table CST1 and Table CST2: Average lint yield, gin turnout, and fiber quality of thirteen XtendFlex Varieties entered into the 2025 Tennessee County Standard Trial Program across eleven trial locations; and Average lint yield, gin turnout, and fiber quality of the six Enlist varieties entered in the 2025 Tennessee County Standard Trial Program across seven trial locations. 

Merry Christmas!   ∆
