Abstract: Eleven cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars were evaluated for their growth and yield performance in Shihezi, Xinjiang, China, an area in Central Asia with short growing period in 1999 and 2000. In each cultivar the number of bolls per plant was low and the number of bolls per unit area was high. Each cultivar showed rather high seed and lint yields. The highest lint yield was Xinluzao 10 in both years with 1761 and 1809 kg ha )1 . High yield ability of the cultivars in this study was attributed to large n… Show more

“…Therefore, during experiment performance of Bt genotypes (FH-142) surpassed non-Bt genotypes (FH-942;Wang et al, 2004) and early sowing (15 April to 15 June) enabled plant to utilize maximum heating units (Boman and Lemon, 2005) while late planting of cotton crop showed haphazard vegetative growth and poorly shifted resources to economic parts and ultimately lowered seed cotton yield (Ali et al, 2009).…”

“…The planting area has been expanding rapidly since the 1990s after the introduction of drip irrigation, plastic mulching and high planting density to this area (Wang et al, 2004). The environmental conditions for cotton production in Xinjiang are similar to those in the San Joaquin Valley of California, United States, namely high evaporation, small amounts of precipitation during the growing period, and high level of soil salinity.…”

“…Hence, efforts are needed to raise seed cotton yield through continuous selection of high yielding varieties and with broad range of adaptability to edaphic and climatic conditions and site specific varietal selection. The cultivars varied significantly for number of bolls per plant and lint index (Wang et al, 2004), ginning outturn and 2.5 % span length (Khan et al, 1989) and seed cotton yield (Arshad et al, 2003;Ali et al, 2005;Sezener et al, 2006;Ehsan et al, 2008). Genetic diversity studies in cotton were accomplished earlier researchers (Lukonge et al, 2007;Khan et al, 2010).…”
