PHYSIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HIRSUTUM COTTON FOR HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY UNDER RAINFED CONDITIONS

Abstract

                                Twelve cotton (G. hirsutum L.) genotypes were evaluated in terms of growth and yield attributing characters for higher productivity under rainfed conditions. Among the genotypes, DS-44 and IC-376 were high yielders. The higher productivity of these high yielding genotypes was largely influenced and controlled by low LAI. low LAD and high SLW (during peak growth period), higher boll number and increased ball weight.

Key words : Cotton: Productivity: Growth parameters. Yield components
