EARLY-MATURING COTTON PLANT SPECIES PROVIDING FULL YIELD AFTER EARLY FALL WHEAT SOWN

New cotton lines with growing period 108 days, grown as a summer crop after winter wheat, are matured earlier for 5 to 6 days compared to standard cotton variety. These short duration breeding lines are suitable for cultivation on irrigated hilly areas. The cotton breeding line L-655 has better growth and productivity characteristics such as growth period length, seed-lint yield and fiber quality than other cotton breeding lines studied in the experiment.
