Research Project: Simultaneous Improvement of Cotton Agronomic and Fiber Quality Performance

Location: Coastal Plain Soil, Water and Plant Conservation Research

Project Number: 6082-21000-008-012-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Jan 1, 2019
End Date: Dec 31, 2019

Objective:
1) Assess the genetic relationship between lint percent and fiber quality in several genetic populations. 2) Develop cotton germplasm with a decreased negative relationship between lint percent and fiber quality.

Approach:
We will use a multi-disciplinary approach comprising of field evaluation, genetics and statistics.
