THE LONG STAPLE EGYPTIAN COTTON PROMISING CROSS GIZA 89 X GIZA 86
Cotton Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt
Abstract
Pedigree selection method used for produce new Egyptian cotton varieties by which the promising cross Giza 89 x Giza 86 introduced through the same way by Cotton Research Institute. This genotype belong to the long staple category with boll weight 3 - 3.2 g, lint percentage 37.5%, mean length 32.2 – 33.2 mm upper half mean, 4.1- 4.3 Micronaire reading, 141- 160 millitex for hair weight, 40.9- 46.3 gram/tex and over 2500 yarn strength. The plants are highly resistant to Fusarium wilt (Fusariumoxysporum ). This new promising cross characterized by high yielding and earliness and out yielded Giza 86 by about 10 % in seed cotton yield.
