Article No.: 122718184 Type: Research DOI: 10.15580/GJAS.2019.1.122718184
|
Twelve advanced upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) experimental lines and two check varieties were evaluated for ten phonological and agronomic traits at Kamashi, Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State during the 2017/18 main cropping season. The objective of the study was to assess performance of the experimental cotton varieties for seed cotton and lint yield. The varieties differed significantly for most of the traits with wide ranging mean values for most of the characters thus indicating the existence of variations among the tested lines and for possibility of immediate commercial utilization and for improvements in future cotton breeding programs. |
