The study was carried out to compare generally used screening methods for salt tolerance: (i) a seedling-based, solution culture method, (ii) plant yield-based, soil method. The physiological and ionic analyses were used for comparisons of methodologies along with yield in soil based systems. The two methods were similar to each other by reproducing similar rankings for genotypes across the met...

Plant growth regulators such as mepiquat chloride (MC) and chlormequat (CCC) are used to establish the balance between vegetative generative in cotton. This study was conducted compare different doses application time of CCC with MC un-treatment (control). The seven treatments including control (non-treatment), T1 (three sprays chloride), T2 (two T3 (0.4 L ha-1 CCC), T4 (0.5 T5 (0.6 CCC) T6 (0....

The F2 populations of the crossings CO 14 × NDLH 1938 and CO17 1755 were used to investigate variability heritability studies in order better understand gene action involved each characteristic studied. Morphological data viz., days first flowering, plant height (cm), number sympodials, bolls per plant, boll weight (g), ginning outturn (%), upper half mean length (mm), elongation percentage (%)...

Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuV) is a devastating biotic factor that imposed crop productivity huge loss. To battle this issue study was assessed in 2019 for the evaluation of response extract miracle tree (Moringa oleifera L.) and potassium (K) nutrition to mitigate plague CLCuV cotton variety CRIS-129. Treatments have consisted various K dosses Viz., 0, 100, 150 kg K2SO4 ha-1, 3% moring...

Measurement or estimation of leaf area is essential for understanding crop responses to experimental treatments. The objective of this study was to develop regression models for estimating leaf area of field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) from measurements of leaf dry weight (LDW), vegetative components (stems and leaves) dry weight (VDW) and plant height (PH). Three cotton cultivars (Del...
