Yield and Fiber Quality Balance in Upland Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.) Breeding

The main aim of cotton breeding is to combine yield and fiber quality by broadening the genetic base genotypes. performance multi-parent hybrid populations association among attributes parameters were investigated biometrical techniques, i.e., principal component analysis (PCA), correlation decision tree. mean range crosses higher for seed ginning out-turn; similar strength length; coarse fineness compared their parents. Significantly negative correlations recorded between out-turn fineness. PCA indicated that on same platform, whereas per plant with length opposite platforms. tree model showed (4.60 mic.) within commercial limits depends optimization approximately 54.27 g 42.60% in single selection.
