Abstract


The Agricultural Research Station, Kovilpatti was opened in 1901. Among the various activities of this Station, breeding and agronomic experiments on the indigenous desi cotton known as Tinnevellies or Karunganni formed an important programme of work. Breeding investigations came to be intensified in 1949 under a special scheme financed by the Indian Central Cotton Committee. This work is in progress. The results of a large number of agronomic experiments concluded during the period 1901 to 1949 are summarised in this paper in order to serve as a guide to future investigations on problems of agronomical importance. The results are classified under the following sections.
