Cotton varieties were evaluated in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee during 2011 for plant yield and fiber response to irrigation. Each trial was implemented as a split block design with blocks representing irrigation level (no irrigation, or well irrigated). Trial location and irrigation impacted cotton variety response. Interaction of cotton variety and irrigation was not evident in these trials. However, the dramatically different environments caused variety responses to differ by location and masked any potential interactions of varieties with irrigation.
