The laboratory germination of mechanical-delinted, acid-delinted, gas-delinted, and flame-delinted cottonseed of the IAC 13-1 variety, treated and not treated with a fungicide, was evaluated during a storage period of 12 montns. In all the storage periods, acid-delinted and gas-delinted cottonseed provided higher germination percentages than those delinted by machine or by flame. In all the storage periods, fungicide-treated seeds of each type produced higher germination percentages than did untreated seed.
