Objectives:

Evolution of cotton varieties, with high yield potential, early maturing, heat, insect pest and disease tolerance high GOT % and better fibre characteristics.

Achievements:

Evolved five new varieties viz. CRIS-9, Marvi, CRIS-467, CRIS-134 and CRIS-121, these varieties posses better quantitative and quantitative characteristics viz. yield potential in the range of 3900 kg to 4500 kg/hac, GOT % 34.5 to 37.5 and staple length, 26.5 to 27.5 mms and fibre strength 97.0 to 98.5.
