Book Description
Excerpt from Cotton-Spacing Experiments at Greenville, Texas Cotton-spacing experiments were conducted at the United States cotton-breeding Field Station at Greenville, tex., from 1921-to 1925, inclusive. These experiments showed a definite tendency toward greater yields from plants spaced less than 12 inches apart in the row, and the highest yields were obtained from rows that were not thinned or chopped but left in the original stands with the plants averaging 2.to 4 inches apart._ Within certain limits there Seems to be a. General positive correlation between the number of plants per acre and. Yield. Although there is undoubtedly a limit to the num ber of plants that can grow in a row and produce more cotton than plants spaced 12 inches apart, this limit has not been determined for Greenville conditions, even with heavier rates of planting than are usually employed. The experiments included a wide range of different stands and spacings, planted on the well-known black land or' Houston clay of Texas. In connection with these experiments at the Greenville sta tion, two experiments were conducted on a farm near Campbell, in the same county, on a fine sandy loam soil characteristic of the small stream bottoms of eastern Texas.
