The results from the 2021 UGA On Farm Cotton Variety Trial program are available. The Colquitt County site was located at the Sun Belt Ag Expo this past year. If you have any questions about this program, please contact your local county Extension agent.
Below are results from another irrigated on farm cotton variety demonstration in Colquitt County. This plot consisted of planting 10 varieties, and each variety was replicated three times. Cotton samples are taken and sent to the UGA Microgin and classing office for turnout and fiber quality data.
