A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2014-15 to evaluate the Effect of High Density Planting System (HDPS) and Genotypes on growth parameters and Yield contributing traits in upland cotton at Cotton Research Unit, Dr. ., Akola. The experiment was laid out in FRBD design consisting of four factors of plant densities viz., 45 x 10, 60 x10, 75 x 10 and 60 x 15 cm2 in main plots and three factors of cotton varieties ., AKH-081, NH-615 and Suraj in sub plots with replicated thrice. The taller plant height, maximum leaf area index and crop growth rate was found with higher plant densities. Whereas more leaf area and total dry matter production were increased with decreased plant densities. Similar trend was obtained with seed cotton yield (g)/plant and single boll weight. The highest seed cotton yield ( kg ha-1) was recorded with high density, during both seasons. | Effect of high density planting system HDPS and genotypes on growth parameters and yield contributing traits in upland cotton
