Compensatory Reactions in Blends of Cotton Sib Lines

The use of cultivar blends to increase yield and/or quality stability has been well researched. Most have utilized a diverse array of cultivars as components of the blend. Most modern cotton cultivars retain a small amount of residual heterzygosity on purpose and blends of full sibs may demonstrate enhanced stability. Five blends were tested for two years across multiple locations to investigate if full sib blends offer useful advantages.
