2. ACGA Seed Development Committee Started in 2001 Crossing nursery in 2001, 2002, & 2003 Evaluation nursery in 2005, & 2006 10 lines in ACGA advanced trials with U of A since 2003 in 3 locations. Yuma, Maricopa, and Safford. 10 new lines advanced each Year 37 -38 new lines tested in ACGA preliminary strains trial with the U of A at Yuma, and Maricopa each year since 2004. Including Safford in 2007.

3. Advanced Strains vs Preliminary Strains Trials Advanced strains in trials with other seed company’s yet to be released materials, ie D&PL, CPCSD, FiberMax, Phytogen, Salcot, Stoneville & Dyna-Gro. Preliminary strains trials, 37 to 38 selections that are tested in 2 locations with 4 replications at each location against 2 to 3 commercial variety’s. These are strains that are taken from the previous years nursery, after visual evaluations and HVI data is taken.

4. Importance of the Nursery Provide strains from previous breeding efforts and plant selections that provide better quality and yield. Individual plant selections are then taken from plants, then grown out until deemed stable to advance into the ACGA preliminary testing program. These selections can be further evaluated in 3 locations, Yuma, Maricopa, and Safford, for quality and yield information. Continue to advance materials that have superior quality and yield characteristics.

15. 2007 Advanced and Preliminary Strains testing Financed thru Cotton Inc. Arizona State support dollars. Research done by Dr. Randy Norton. Trails at 3 locations this year Yuma, MAC, and Safford. Over 50 lines tested in these 3 locations in 2007 in Preliminary strains testing, and 10 line in Advanced strains testing.

16. 2007 Nursery Approximately 130 F5 plants planted in 2 row plots. Over 800 F4 single rows for individual plant selection. Seed increase from last years nursery on 16 different lines based on previous years yield and quality data.

17. Conclusion In the process of getting an evaluation of what this program is worth. Try to decide what to do, sell, to who and what about rights to bag seed for growers of Arizona. We understand the need for Herbicide gene technology.
