Abstract

In recent years, the productivity of cotton has been increased substantially by adopting high density planting system in most of the cotton growing countries.  However in India, such system does not take off for want of suitable plant type.  Compact plant type with zero monopodia and short sympodia is suitable for high density planting system.  As a result of concerted efforts, taken at the Department of Cotton, TNAU, Coimbatore a G.hirsutum culture TCH 1822 has been developed.  The yield potential and fibre quality traits are comparable with the check variety Suraj.
