This publication discusses warm and cool germination tests for cotton seed quality and ways to interpret these results. A warm germination test is a good predictor of seed germination when cotton is grown under favorable conditions. Cool germination test results only provide an indication of the performance of a given seed lot when planted under unfavorable conditions. This publication is intended for growers, crop advisors, and Extension agents. Written by Sudeep S. Sidhu, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Agronomy, April 2026.
