Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Spacing cotton plants 15 cm apart yielded the maximum seed cotton yield.
- Intervention effect The 15 cm spacing had the highest plant density, 88,888 plants ha‑1.
- Intervention effect Cotton plants at 30 cm spacing had more bolls per plant than plants at 15 cm spacing in both years.
- Intervention effect Cotton plants at 45 cm spacing had more bolls per plant than plants at 15 cm spacing in both years.
- Intervention effect Plant spacing did not significantly affect cotton boll weight.
- Observation MNH-886 and MNH-814 had the highest boll weight compared with CIM-496.
- Observation MNH-886 and MNH-814 had the highest number of bolls per plant compared with CIM-496.
- Observation MNH-886 and MNH-814 yielded more seed cotton than CIM-496.
- Observation MNH-886 and MNH-814 experienced about 20% lower CLCV attack than CIM-496.
- Observation Plant population was statistically similar across all cotton genotypes.
- Observation The authors conclude that MNH-886 and MNH-814 give higher seed cotton yield at 15 cm spacing.
