Registration of ‘CIM-496’ Cotton

摘要: 'CIM-496' cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (Reg. No. CV-125, PI 657627, Pak 024263) was developed by the Central Cotton Research Institute (CCRI), Multan, Pakistan, and released in 2005 for general cultivation as a part of investigations oriented toward evolving high-yielding cultivars that are resistant to leaf curl virus disease (CLCuD). The cultivar through crossing CIM-425 with 755-6/93. CIM-496 tested multiple trials conducted various public agencies, well CCRI Multan. In varietal three successive normal cotton-growing seasons (2000-2002) at different sites, outyielded significantly all standard varieties included present study. zonal arranged 26 seed yield (SCY) 11.1% 9.8% more than checks 'CIM-473' 'CIM-499', respectively. National Coordinated Varietal Trial (NCVT), produced SCY standards two consecutive years (2003 2004). is Multan strain CLCuD also possesses higher lint percentage compared existing commercial varieties. this has substantially contributed sustaining production Pakistan can be used valuable genetic resource future breeding programs.
