SCREENING Gossypium hirsutum GENOTYPES FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE

Abstract

Twenty G.hirsutum genotypes were evaluated for their drought tolerance in rainy seasons of 1987 and 1988 under stress and per cent non-stress conditions. The crop under non-stress condition was irrigated at 25 percent available soil moisture at 30 cm depth. The present study revealed that genotype TKH679 registered the maximum seed cotton yield under stress condition and with yield potential as good as under non-stress condition though it produced lesser fruiting forms per plant.
