ABSTRACT
The experiment on relationship of seed-cotton yield with other quantitative characters of G. hirsutum L. showed that number of bolls and staple length had strong and positive association with seed-cotton yield. Ginning percentage also exhibited positive relationship with yield but it was very weak. Coefficient of determination (r2) revealed that, in the plant material studied, 90 per cent of the variability in seed-cotton was due to number of bolls and 10 per cent was caused by staple length. These results suggested that plant material had potential for improving seed-cotton yield by selecting plants with increased number of bolls and enhanced staple length.
