Cotton is a major cash crop classified as moderately tolerant to salt stress (threshold ECe = 7.7 dS m-1). In the present study, set of 21 homozygous advanced breeding lines cotton (Gossypium herbaceum L.), including one variety G Cot 23 was evaluated over three years identify stable high yielding genotypes under stress.

The tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), has become known as a midto late-season pest in addition to an early-season pest in recent years with the addition of Bt cotton, completion of the Boll Weevil Eradication Program, and use of lepidopteran-specific insecticides. The expanded prominence of TPB requires continued applied research in the form of insecticide effic...

Cotton breeding progress stagnation, changing production conditions, and continued high fiber quality demands are challenging the cotton industry in Burkina Faso. The F1 populations developed by half diallel crosses between germplasm from Texas A&M AgriLife Research Faso were evaluated for several agronomic traits. aim was to identify most promising parents hybrids further varietal improvem...

Abstract Declining water levels in the southern Ogallala Aquifer and associated reduction irrigation capacities increasing pumping costs necessitate adoption of deficit/limited practices for sustaining cotton production Texas High Plains (THP) region. The overall goal this study was to evaluate response crop stress different growth stages suggest efficient growth-stage-based deficit (GSBD) sche...
