WRIgHt, Farm Advisor, University of caLIFoRnIa California Cooperative Extension, Tulare and Kings Counties Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and Pima cotton (G. barbadense) are the two types of cotton produced commercially in California. In acreage as well as crop value, over the past 5 years cotton has typically ranked in the top three in agronomic field crops grown in California. During that period, plantings of upland cotton in California have ranged from about 400,000 to over 650,000 acres (160,000 to 260,000 ha), while Pima plantings have ranged from about 140,000 to over 250,000 acres (56,000 to 101,000 ha). Does cross-pollination occur in cotton? Both upland and Pima cotton are variously referred to as “largely self-pollinated” or “partially cross-pollinated.” These descriptions acknowledge that these types of cotton are mostly self-pollinated but some cross-pollination can occur, albeit at relatively low
