Tennessee Releases 2016 Cotton Variety Guide, Weed and Insect Manuals

By Jim Steadman|December 21, 2015

The University of Tennessee has released three publications to help the state’s cotton growers in making production decisions for 2016.

The 2016 Tennessee Cotton Variety Guide is now available online. The document summarizes results from the 2015 University of Tennessee Cotton Agronomy program and serves as a precursor to a full release of trial results to come in early 2016. Summaries from the 2015 season were calculated from four Official Variety Trials (OVTs), four large, replicated on-farm trials and nine County Standard Trials (CSTs) scattered throughout Tennessee’s cotton producing counties.

The 2016 Weed Control Manual for Tennessee (PB1580) and the 2016 Insect Control Recommendations for Field Crops (PB1768) are also now available online. Printed copies will also be available at various county and state production meetings and at Extension county offices.
