Variation between plants was analysed in 3 cultivars for 7 attributes relating to oil and lint productivity. Variation among plants for fibre length, number of seeds per boll, lint per seed, seed index, and seed-oil index was highly significant. Variation for lint per seed, seed index, and seed-oil index tended to be relatively higher in the oil cultivars.
