| The goal of most cotton (Gossypium sp.) breeding programs is to develop true-breeding genotypes with high yield potential and good fiber quality. Bulk breeding programs advance unselected populations for several generations prior to individual plant selection: however, unproductive genotypes may not be eliminated until a late stages in the breeding program. The ability to select in an effective way among bulk populations would allow the breeder to concentrate efforts and resources on populations having the greatest probability of producing high yielding genotypes.;This study was conducted to determine to what extent yield of unselected populations in F... |
