Genetic evaluation for seed cotton yield and fiber quality traits in desi cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.)
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The experimental material comprised of 39 different elite genotypes of desi cotton along with three checks viz., AKA-7, PA-08 and JLA-794. All these material were grown in Randomized Block Design with two replications during kharif 2018 at Cotton Research Station, Mehboob Baugh Farm, V.N.M.K.V., Parbhani. For earliness parameters, genotypes ARBAS 1502 and CCA 2003 were found to be the best amongst all. Among the genotypes studied, FDK 259(44.40g), RG 690 (42.00g) SV 385 (41.45g), and JLA505 (40.75g) showed higher seed cotton yield per plant over all three checks viz., AKA-7 (27.10g), PA-08 (26.30 g) and JLA-794 (31.55g). The genotypes AKA 9703 (39.08%) CNA 397 (38.95%) for ginning percentage, CISA -6-123 (30.50 mm) and PAIG 370 (30 mm) for upper half mean length, PA 808, JLA 606 (28 g/tex) for fibre strength and GAU 168 (4.5 ug/inch) for micronaire showed superior fiber quality traits.
