Release of PD 99035 and PD 98066: In 2007, the Coastal Plains Soil, Water, and Plant Research Center officially released two Upland cotton germplasm lines with superior fiber quality. The lines provide public and private breeders genetic resources for concurrent improvement of fiber quality and yield performance in Upland cottons targeted for the southeastern United States. The lines also serve as genetic resources for improving fiber quality in environments across the Upland cotton belt of the United States. More Information: Notice of Release  |

Phosphorus Fertilizer from Swine Waste: In the new swine manure treatment process developed at the Coastal Plains Soil, Water, and Plant Research Center (see pages under manure management on this website), phosphorus is recovered from the liquid portion of the manure as calcium phosphate. Our studies indicate the calcium phosphate can be used as a fertilizer for soils needing this nutrient to grow plants. More Information: Agronomic Effectiveness of Calcium Phosphate...

Cultivar Response to Supplemental Water: Does genetic variation exist for cultivar lint yield and fiber quality response to supplemental water? We identified specific germplasm lines responsive and non-responsive to irrigation for lint yield, yield related traits, and fiber quality. The identified germplasm lines can be used to develop: 1) cultivars targeted for irrigated or non-irrigated production environments, and 2) cultivars with stability to differential water availability. More Information: Genetic variation for yield and fiber...

Cotton Processing Quality and Stink Bug Damage: Stink bugs feed on seeds and juices in developing bolls. Working with the USDA Cotton Quality Research Station in Clemson, SC and Clemson University, we found that light infestation levels of this pest does not influence fiber processing quality (fiber properties, yarn quality, or fabric quality).
More Information: Evidence that light stink bug damage...

Targeted Cotton Breeding: In southeast USA cotton production areas, selecting improved breeding lines for lint yield potential requires targeting specific lines to specific growing environments. Selecting for fiber strength potential does not require targeting specific lines to specific growing environments.
