GENETICS OF YIELD, YIELD ATTRIBUTES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS IN BREEDING OF COTTON (GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM L.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
A 9 X 9 diallel cross analysis indicated predominance of additive variation for seed cotton yield per plant and six other yield attributes including bolls per plant. Genotype Laxmi was a good general combiner for five of the seven traits including bolls per plant. OS-4 and OS-56 were also good combiners, the latter showing significant gca effects for seed cotton yield per plant and bolls per plant. Potential cross combinations were also identified for giving good yields. Three crosses, OS-56 X RR0-417, RR0-425 X DP-I635 and OS-4 X FORN-l based on sca effects were considered ideal for exploitation of heterosis.
