Effects of stand loss and skips on cotton yields
Studies at Lubbock in 1981 82 vary skip lengths from 0.5 to 9 feet to assess yields under 25 and 50 percent stand losses. Normal stands yielded most, while 25 percent loss cut lint yields about 13 percent and 50 percent loss about 25 percent. Replant profitability depends on location date and late planting losses. June 10 is a key cutoff for Castro and Dawson counties.
