A very strong yield performance in a long hot year indicated in the 12 irrigations applied. This crop looked good throughout the season and started fruiting on node 6. With good fruit retention and boll numbers above 160/m the crop yielded over 15 bales/ha with great fibre length, strength and grade. To note Verticillium Wilt was in the trial but the crop finished up before it could impact on yield.
