What are the high-yielding cotton varieties?

Cotton is a plant of cotton genus of Malvaceae, originating in the subtropics, and has been widely cultivated in various cotton producing areas in China. The existing cultivated varieties include Si Zi cotton, German cotton, Dai cotton, Ke cotton and so on. The main commercial cotton bases are Jianghuai Plain, Jianghan Plain, Southern Xinjiang Cotton area, South Hebei, Northwest Shandong, North Henan Plain, and the Coastal Plain along the Yangtze River. Let's take a look at the high-yield cotton varieties.

[high yield performance] the average seed cotton yield of Zhongmiansuo 63 was 3567.30 kg / ha, 10.1% higher than that of the control (Xiangzamian 2 F1), and the average lint yield was 1478.55 kg / ha, which was 10.0% higher than that of the control, ranking first, and the increase was extremely significant. The lint yield before frost was 1310.40 kg / ha, 10.2% higher than that of the control. According to the results of production experiments at 10 sites in the Yangtze River Basin in 2006, the yields of seed cotton and lint were 3876.00 kg / ha and 1585.50 kg / ha respectively, which were 0.4% and 2.3% higher than those of the control (Xiangzamian 8 F1).

[resistance identification] resistant to Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, high resistance to cotton bollworm, high resistance to red bollworm.
