Assessment of production potential of long-linted Gossypium arboreum L. genotypes under different sowing times

Abstract Background Gossypium arboreum is one of the cultivated diploids which has inherent resistance against insect pests and diseases, can withstand moisture stress, needs less nutrients suitable for erratic, rainfall marginal soils. Due to its smaller boll size poor locule retentivity, adoption species by farmers very low. So, best long-linted G. genotypes with high yielding potential sowing time will be identified rainfed tracts cotton areas in India. Results The pooled analysis results found that significantly highest mean seed yield was recorded Phule Dhanwanthry (1069 kg/ha) on par K12 (1027 kg/ha), DLSA 17 (977 PA 812 (951 kg/ha). Planting at 4 August yielded higher (1345 comparison September (536 interaction data revealed Genotype planted registered (1487 all sown except 402. Amongst genotypes, 760 upper half length (29.9 mm), (24.9 mm) fibre strength (27.0 g/tex) quality index (349.7); 17, characters had not been influenced different times sowing. Conclusions concluded (349.7)
