This crop was planted in late October and once flowering put on a tremendous amount of fruit in a very short period with boll numbers above 160 and very good boll weight 2.43 grams/boll it stood to reason it was going to yield very well. The quality of the lint was exceptional. The Sicot 746B3F and Sicot 748B3F yielded virtually the same. A great result and well managed under the extremes of the long drawn out season.
