Evaluation of six new foreign Cotton Cultivars Value of Cultivation and use (VCU) in Fars province (Darab)

In order to determination Value of Cultivation and Use (VCU) of Cotton new foreign cultivars in Fars province (Darab), seed cotton yield and its components, earliness and fiber quality were evaluated. Cotton six new foreign cultivars included Carisma, Lydia, PG2018, BA440, Flash and Edesa and studied traits were seed cotton yield, boll number of each plant, boll weight, earliness, lint percent, fiber length, fitness, elasticity, strength, uniformity, yellowness and brightness. Results showed studied traits affected by environment conditions during trial conduction years. New foreign cultivars Carisma in first year and Lydia in second years had the highest seed cotton yield and lint percent respectively. PG2018 were the earliest cultivar. Golestan control cultivar had the most fiber length and fittest fiber and Lydia new foreign cultivar had the highest fiber strength, uniformity and brightness. Based on trial results new foreign cultivars, Carisma, Lydia and PG2018 are recommendable for cultivation in Fars province.
