New cotton hybrids show significant yield increase potential for farmers.
The researchers studied different cotton hybrids to find out which ones had the best traits for higher yields. They planted nine genotypes and 20 hybrid combinations in a field experiment. They found that certain hybrid combinations showed significant improvements in traits like number of bolls, boll weight, and lint index compared to a standard check. This suggests that these hybrids have potential for producing better cotton varieties in the future.
