5 PRT Seed Sample

6 Conventional vs. PRT seed

7 Conclusions (2004) 37-39 bales/hr common versus bales/hr historically (dry harvest cotton). This is a subjective estimate.

8 Conclusions (2004) 2003 Gin Season (dry harvest) – 40 of 81 days (49.4%) 700+ bales ginned. Six days 800+. 2002 Gin Season (wet harvest) – 22 of 65 days (33.8%, PRT testing time excluded) 700+ bales ginned. Zero days 800+. 2001 Gin Season (dry harvest) – 28 of 101 days (27.7%) 700+ bales ginned. Four days 800+.
