Abstract :
For recognizing exotic high performance genotypes, three new hybrid cotton genotypes (tbl180, Teskhi-9 and Cri108) were compared with control (Sahel) in a RCBD with four replicates at Khodafarin in 2012 and 2013. Genotypes were planted in six rows in 80×20 cm arrangement. Attributes like yield, homogeneity, boll number, plant weight and plant height were measured. Results showed that year×genotypes interaction for lint yield in both first and second cuts and total, and homogeneity were significant. Differences between two cuts were not significant in all genotypes. The results also revealed that Teskhi-9 having lowes TOL and highest STI values was recognized to be the most adaptable genotype as compared with other two genotypes.
