The study was undertaken to evaluate the magnitude of heterosis in 36 cotton hybrids developed by crossing 3 lines and 12 testers in L x T design at three different locations of Maharashtra State viz., Akola, Amravati and Nagpur during kharif, 2017-18. The cross AKH 8828 x AKH 9916 exhibited highest and significant heterosis over the check PKV Hy-2 for seed cotton yield/plant ( %), number of bolls/plant ( %) and fibre strength ( %) across the environments. |
