Comparative Yield Performance of New Cultivars of Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.) (original) (raw)

A field experiment was conducted to asses the growth and yield performance of five cultivars of cotton i.e. FH-115, FH-207, FH-901, FH-113 and MNH-786, during spring 2006. Significant differences in plant height, number of sympodial branches per plant, number of bolls per plant, average boll weight, seed cotton yield, ginning out turn, fiber length and fiber fineness were recorded among the cultivars. The cultivar FH-115 statistically produced maximum yield due to more number of sympodial branches, number of bolls per plant and higher ginning out turn.
