Combining Ability of Some Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Hybrids in Line x Tester for Elbistan Conditions-I; Fiber Yield and Fiber Yield Components

Abstract

Development new cultivar with high fiber yield for different environmental conditions in cotton is main target of cotton breeding that is very important plant for Turkey. Whereas, fiber production is under the influence of a large number of properties, which they have complex relationship and are manage by many genes. The study was carried out in Elbistan plain in 2012 in order to determine or develop new varieties with high fiber yield, after the fallowing of hybridization which made in Kahramanmaraş conditions in 2011 year. Elbistan is located at high elevation (about 1100 m-1500 m) from sea level in Turkey, and junction of Mediterranean, Central and Eastern Anatolia Regions, that has got short period for cotton cultivation. In this study, eight cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) varieties (lines: Stoneville 468, Adana 98 and Furkan, testers: Beli İzvor 432, Primera, Berke, Nazilli 663 and Fantom) and fifteen F1 hybrid were used as plant material that obtained by Line x Tester mating design, and planted in a randomized block design with four replications for investigate nine properties, which effected on fiber yield. In this study, eight cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) varieties (lines: Stoneville 468, Adana 98 and Furkan, testers: Beli İzvor 432, Primera, Berke, Nazilli 663 and Fantom) and fifteen F1 hybrid were used as plant material, that obtained by Line x Tester mating design. After that, parents and hybrids planted in randomized block design with four replications for investigate nine properties, which effected on fiber yield. As a result of the study, while the parent fiber yields were range 50.04 kgda-1 (Furkan) to 102.83 kg-1 (Fantom), fiber yields of the hybrids ranged from 59.1 kgda-1 (3x7, Furkan x Nazilli 663) to 113.3 kgda-1 (1x4, Stoneville 468 x Beli İzvor 432) and very important differences determined among of hybrids, parents and genotypes for fiber yield. Furthermore, lines, testers and line x tester interaction supported to lint yield 40.77%, 33.77% and 25.46%, respectively and choice of genotypes are found very important for maximum lint yield for Elbistan conditions, which they have to combined high seed cotton yield and gin out turn like 1x4 F1 (Stoneville 468 x Beli İzvor 432) hybrid and Fantom cultivar.
