The present study was conducted to find out the Boll retention (%) under different environments/sowing quality in three varieties H 1098 – I, H 1300 and H 1316 under six environments (three sowing periods . early, normal and late sown conditions in year 2015 and 2016). Observations were recorded for total flower tagged and total boll retained in different tagging period. Tagging period stared from June end when there were sizable amount of flowers. In early sown condition per cent boll retention was higher () and also produced more number of flowers as compared to normal sown () and late sown conditions () conditions. So, early sown condition was best for maximum boll retention. | Boll retention under different environments sowing conditions in upland cotton Gossypium hirsutum L.
