Abstract

An experiment with eight established varieties of Asiatic cottons were used for nonreciprocal diallel crossing. Intrinsic fineness was evaluated in F1 and F2 generations. Combining ability and genetic components were found out. Fibre fineness was governed by additive type of gene action. In both generations, general combining ability was significant.
