Coker 100 Wilt is 
Widely Adapted 
The Southwide breeding and testing program con- 
ducted by Coker breeders enabled them to achieve wide 
adaptation for Coker 100 Wilt. That means: (1) it is 
outstanding in its performance in a given area, (2) it 
is widespread in its adaptation and a leading producer 
of highest quality cotton in most parts of the Cotton 
Belt, and (3) it is well-adapted to a wide range of 
weather or other environmental conditions. For many 
years, Coker breeders sold seed of a large number of 
varieties each year, one for one locality or condition, 
one for a different requirement, and still others to meet 
other varying needs. The development of Coker 100 
Wilt resulted from special breeding and testing tech- 
niques designed to produce a variety that could be 
depended on for superior performance year in and 
year out under widely varying growing conditions.
