Abstract

In Ethiopia cotton varieties under production are characterized as medium fiber quality cultivars. In contrast, textile industries, ginneries and spinners become quality cotton fiber conscious. Thus, hybrid cotton (VBCHB 1527, VBCHB 1203 and VBCHB 1526) along two standard check cotton varieties (YD-211 and Deltapine 90) were tested with the objective of selecting better fiber quality cotton variety having considerable seed cotton and lint yield to meet the evolving needs of cotton producers, textile mills and others. The overall performance of six different irrigated areas indicated, VBCHB 1527 gave the highest of 2.64 ton/ha seed cotton yield, followed by VBCHB 1203 (2.35 ton/ha) and VBCHB 1526 (2.25 ton/ha). Accordingly, a seed cotton yield advantage of 40.37% (VBCHB 1527), 24.85% (VBCHB 1203) and 19.55% (VBCHB 1526) over the highest yielding standard check variety (Deltapine 90) is obtainable. A little differences among the hybrids and standard check varieties observed under different locations with regard to lint yield. Among the tested hybrid VBCHB 1527, exhibited extra-long fiber length within range of 35.59 mm to 38.51 mm and fiber strength ranging from 33.5 g/tex to 40.4 g/tex. Similarly, VBCHB 1203 exhibited 32.67 mm to 35.5 mm fiber length and 32.8 g/tex to 38.5 g/tex fiber strength. Overall, the two hybrids (VBCHB 1527 and VBCHB 1203) showed superior performance in seed cotton yield, lint yield, fiber quality and in other desirable agronomic parameters at all testing locations and could possibly better varieties for quality cotton fiber production.
