Cotton planting rates vary with seed, width, and irrigation
Area cotton specialist Dr. Robert B. Metzer of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service at Lubbock says seeding rates will differ by raw seed width seed quality and whether production is irrigated or dryland. He adds that low quality seed this year may require planting rates to rise by about 25 percent or more depending on germination.

Optimum plant populations for narrow row cotton
An agronomist outlines target populations by row width and seed rates for irrigation and dryland cotton. For 40 inch beds in conventional rows 40 50 thousand plants per acre. for 20 inch rows 75 80 thousand. for 10 inch rows 100 140 thousand. Emphasis on high germination, proper placement, and broader practices like variety choice and weed control.

Cotton Production May Fall as Pesticide Costs Rise
A TAES study using a computer model suggests U S cotton output could drop up to ten percent if organochlorine pesticides like DDT are withdrawn. Non irrigated yields fell up to ten percent in the southeast with irrigation mitigating losses. costs per acre could rise by about nine dollars in some states.
