A Comparative Study on the Growth and the Development of Andrews and of a Cambodia Strain

Abstract

Andrews is a variety of Sea Island cotton introduced into South India from the West Indies. It belongs to G. barbadense and possessed extra long staple of over 1. The Agricultural Departments of Mysore, Kerala Andhra and Madras States have been endeavouring to popularise its cultivation, but with very little success. Its erratic and generally poor yield has been the main cause for the ryors not taking up this variety to the desired extent. With a view to gain an insight into the probable reason for its poor performance, a study on the growth and the development was undertaken in comparison with a Cambodia strain at Coimbatore during 1966. The results have been reported in this communination.
