Pamukta Bazi Karakterlere İlişkin Heterotik Etkiler ve Korelasyon Analizleri

This research was conducted at the Dicle University Faculty of Agriculture Experimental Area of Field Crops. The objectives of the study were to investigate the heterotic effects of earliness and agronomical and quality characters on F1 and F2 generations of cotton plant. In 2003, F1 generation, and in 2004 F2 generation were obtained, and in 2005, F1 and F2 generations were grown with parents in randomized block design with three replications. The highest heterosis was observed in the monopodial branch (-58.33%), and number of first sympodial branch (-30.85%), height of first sympodial branch (-13.87%), date of first square (- 13.87%). However, the highest F2 depression and F2 deviations were determined the same characters.
