| Abstract | ||||
| The promising cross [Giza83 x (Giza75 x 5844)) was developed by the Cotton Breeding Research Section of Cotton Research Institute from a cross between Giza83 and Genotype (Giza75 x 5844) through artificial hybridization followed by pedigree method of selection. This promising cross is characterized by heavy bolls (3.0-3.2 gm), high seed, lint cotton yield and lint percentage as compared to the commercial varieties Giza90, Giza83 and Giza80.The seed and lint cotton yield of the promising cross exceeded that of Giza90, Giza83 and Giza80 by 7.12%, 5.1% and 15.22% for seed cotton yield and by 9.68%, 7.09% and 14.57% for lint yield, respectively. Moreover, the lint percentage of this cross was high (39-40%). The fiber quality for the promising cross was in the same category for long staple cotton in Middle and Upper Egypt. The plants of this cross are known to be highly resistant to fusarium wilt (Frisian= oxysporum) | ||||
