Abstract

9 Cotton commercial hybrids were screened for high moisture stress at emergence and early seedling stage. Emergence (%) and Percentage of seedling survival are taken in to consideration for selecting high moisture stress tolerance. 4 lines are selected for high moisture stress tolerance which includes 1915, 1919, 1924, and 1929. Above selected hybrids is recommended for growing in high moisture areas (early stage flood prone stress).
