| Performance of Intra-Hirsutum F1 Hybrids (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (2002) | |||||
Abstract | |||||
| Six intra specific F1 hybrids of Gossypium hirsutum L. cultivars were studied for the manifestation of heterosis in seed cotton yield, bolls per plant, boll weight, ginning out turn percentage and staple length. The data showed significant differences between mid parents and F1 hybrids for all the traits studied. The maximum positive heterotic response of F1 hybrids over mid and better parents, respectively were 139.0 and 120.0% for seed cotton yield, 119.2 and 81.1% for number of bolls, 3.4 over better parent and 6.3% over mid parent, and 6.3% for boll weight, 5.7 and 2.3% for ginning out turn percentage and 5.7 and 3.7% for staple length. | |||||
