Study of six new foreign Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Cultivars seed cotton yield and its components, earliness and fiber quality for evaluation of Value of Cultivation and use (VCU) in Ardabil province (Moghan)

Value of Cultivation and Use (VCU) of six new Turkey origin upland cotton cultivars including Carisma, Lydia, PG2018, BA440, Flash and Edesa cultivars in comparison with Varamin and Mehr cultivars as control in ardabil province (Moghan) evaluated during 2917 and 2918 years by determination of seed cotton yield and its components (boll number per plant and one boll weight), earliness and some fiber quality characters including fibers percent, length, fitness, flexibility, strength, uniformity, yellowness and brightness.Based on the trial results new foreign cultivar Lydia in order to having the most seed cotton yield, earliness and fiber fitness and Flash cultivar due to more earliness and having the most fiber length, strength and brightness in comparison with other evaluated new foreign upland cotton cultivars and control cultivars had desired cultivation and use traits for recommendation to cultivation in Ardabil province (Moghan) instead of Varamin late maturity common cultivar and for substitution of Mehr obsolete variety.
