Sicot 746 B3F performed well in the trial out yielding Sicot 748B3F by 3%. The yields in this trial were good considering the season that was hot from December onwards. The fibre quality was great attracting 11-2’s for grade and length, micronaire and strength all attracted premiums. At picking time there was some variability across the trial with some low spots yielding less, but overall a good result.
