Abstract:The present investigation was undertaken to study the extent of heterosis in respect of seed cotton and lint yield, fiber quality traits and other agronomic performances. Six cotton genotypes were crossed in all possible combinations including reciprocals. The resulting filial generation (F1 hybrids) seed of 30 crosses and 6 parents were planted in a simple lattice design with a perfect square of 6x6 replicated twice. Mean square due to genotypic differences were found significant for all the traits under stud… Show more
