- Abstract
This article presents information about the newly registered germplasm line of cotton, designated as Arkot 9111. This breeding line of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum, having Registration number GP-798 and PI 638506, was released in 2004 by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. Arkot 9111, reportedly, was derived from a 1991 cross between "H1330" and M-725. Arkot 9111 was developed using the general procedures outline by Bourland. An individual plant selected in the F2 generation was evaluated as F3 progeny row 9111-57 in 1993 and as a strain in 1994 and 1995. A second cycle of selection in 1995 gave rise to 9111-57-20, which was tested as a progeny row in 1996 and was promoted to a strain in 1997. Arkot 9111 was included in 29 replicated field tests at four Arkansas Agricultural Research Station sites in the Mississippi River Delta and compared with "ST 474" in 1997 through 2000 and "PSC 355" in 2001 through 2003. Arkot 9111 produced 12% fewer seed per area, 12% higher lint index, 8% higher seed index, and 15% more fibers per seed than the check cultivars. Compared with these check cultivars, yield production of Arkot 9111 appears to be relatively more dependent on increased lint per seed than on increased number of seed per area.
