A Correlation And Path Coefficient Analysis Of Components In G. Hirsutum L. Hybrids By Usual And Fibre Quality Grouping, S. L. Ahuja, L. S. Dhayal, Ram Prakash

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Improvement in fibre length is important for the textile industry in utilising high speed yarn spinning technology and in expanding the array of yarn products. High tensile strength fibre is needed for good spinning, especially with fast modern spinning machines. The usual practice of estimating correlation coefficients and the direct and indirect effects of component traits of seed cotton yield is without grouping the genetic material on the basis of fibre length and strength. Hence, the present investigation was carried out on these aspects by grouping the 20 F1 hybrids into 3 sets on the basis of fibre length and …
