Variability and interrelationship studies for yield components in G. arboreum collected from North-Eastern Hill region and Gujarat

Twenty three single plant selections (twenty of G. arboreum race cernuum and three of G. arboreum) made from the collections done in North-East region of the country and Gujarat were evaluated for analysis of seed cotton yield, boll number per plant, boll weight, ginning outturn percentage and 2.5% span length. Seed cotton yield showed positive correlation with all the component traits. The analysis confirmed that plant type with high boll weight, high number of bolls per plant and long fibres have high seed cotton yield.
