The present study consisted of 13 genotypes of G. hirsutum cottons. Wide range of variability for no.of bolls/plant, seed cotton yield/plant, mean fibre length, seed index, bundle strength, micronaire value and ginning out-turn was observed, offering ample scope for improvement in those characters. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was manifested by seed index, indicating additive gene action. High heritability and moderate genetic advance estimates for mean fibre length, bundle strength and lint index suggests that variability is partly under non-additive gene control.
