Find the Right Cotton Variety for Your Farm

Search a name or a brand, pick a type, then sort by yield or by days to harvest. Tap a card for the full record.

8 of 8 cotton varieties

The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.

What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.

So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How to Choose a Cotton Variety

Cotton needs a long dry spell at boll opening. Pick a variety by lint yield and fiber quality.

Days to harvest

Days from sowing to harvest. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.

Yield

Trial yields come from well managed plots in several places, so treat them as a ranking more than a promise. Compare varieties within the same type.

Ratings

R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage in the trials, so scout it often.

Registered or not

A registered variety passed national trials. One that is not on the registry shows only its seller's numbers, so test it on a small area first.

Pests and Diseases of Cotton

The problems that hit cotton fields most often. A variety rated resistant to one of these saves you sprays, so check the ratings on each variety page.
