Relationships of Yield Component Variables to Yield and Fiber Quality Parameters

Frank E. Groves, University of Arkansas Cooperative Ext, P.O. Box 3508, Monticello, AR 71656 and Fred Bourland, University of Arkansas, P.O. Box 96, Keiser, AR 72351.

A total of 121 year by location sites were utilized as the database to develop relationships of yield components and fiber quality data.  These data were collected from stain and variety tests associated with the University of Arkansas Cotton Breeding Program from 1999 through 2006.  Data were collected at four sites with differing soil textures and environmental conditions.  Lint and seed parameters were subjected to path coefficient analysis, where multiple regression coefficients were used to establish probable paths and relative contributions of independent variables, particularly those related to yield.
