A Preliminary Study on the Determination of Carpel Characteristics, Yield Losses and Free Fatty Acid Content of Seed under Pre-Harvest Precipitation in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Pre-harvest precipitation in some years many cotton-growing regions may adversely affect cotton yield and quality. The effect of carpel characters cultivars on fall out (ground losses) free fatty acid seed under different amounts were investigated. experiment was arranged a two-factor Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. x cultivar interaction for depth, content significant. Fall values between 38.9 kg ha-1 at 20 mm 234.2 125 precipitation. amount all varieties negatively affected by the increase Gloria wide had lowest losses ground.
