Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted for initial evaluation of twenty compact cotton genotypes of G. hirsutum along with two checks to evaluate the effect of high density planting for yield and quality parameters at Cotton Improvement Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (Maharashtra) during 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized block design with three replications. The results of the experiment indicated that seed cotton yield of different genotypes found statistically significant and ranges from 3370 kg/ha to 6193 kg/ha. The genotype RHC-HD-1420 (6193 kg/ha) showed significantly superior over the best check Phule Yamuna (4781 kg/ha) at closer spacing (60 x 15 cm2) for seed cotton yield. Whereas, five genotypes viz. RHC-HD-1312 (5623 kg/ha), RHC-HD-1433 (5399 kg/ha), RHC-HD-1446 (5336 kg/ha), RHC-HD-1438 (5187 kg/ha) and RHCHD-1430 (5176 kg/ha) showed numerical higher yield over best check Phule Yamuna. The highest ginning percentage was recorded by the strain RHC-HD-1427 (38.9%) followed by RHC-HD-1433 (38.0 per cent), RHC-HD-1412 (37.6%), RHC-HD-1420 and RHC-HD-1425 (36.0%).
The, field experiment of Arboreum cotton was conducted at Cotton Improvement Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri to find out the optimum spacing for growth and yield of cotton variety Phule Dhanwantary with nine spacings in randomised block design during 2016-2017, 2017-18 and 2018-2019. The experimental findings revealed that deshi cotton variety Phule Dhanwantary planted at distance 45 x 15 cm2 recorded higher seed cotton yield (18.30 q/ha) with higher gross monetary returns, net monetary returns and B:C ratio than all other spacing’s.
