Preliminary Yield Data: The LSU AgCenter Cotton Extension Program conducted a total of fifteen trials throughout the cotton growing areas of the state in 2012. Yields were determined by weighing cotton in a boll buggy equipped with weigh scales. Samples of each variety were retained and ginned in a 20-saw gin at the Northeast Research Station for turnout.
