A total of 119 accessions of Gossypium arboreum of diverse origin were evaluated for 2.5% span length, uniformity ratio, micronaire value and fibre strength. FFS-44 had recorded 26.7mm 2.5% span length, 5.3 micronaire value and 20.2 g/tex fi bre strength. CINA 329 had recorded micronaire value (5.0). The accession 35/5-B had recorded good fibre quality (26.6mm, 2.5% span length, 5.1 micronaire value and 17.9 g/tex fibre strength). Based on this study it is advocated that these lines could be used in further fi bre quality improvement programme of Gossypium arboreum.
