Experimental topping of cotton studied at Halfway
Researchers from the High Plains Research Foundation and Hale County experiment farm test mechanical topping to boost sun exposure on top bolls. Two varieties Lockett 88A and Paymaster 88-90 show mixed results with minor yield changes and no clear quality gains. Plans include Sept 1 topping and late irrigation to evaluate effects on maturity and lint quality.
