Abstract
New promising cotton cross {[(Giza 89 X Karshinky) X Giza 86] X Giza 94} belonging to G. barbadense L., accompanied with combinations of excellent fiber traits and higher yield potential and possessing strong tolerance to Fusarium wilt developed by Cotton Breeding Department, Cotton Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt. It is under the varietal approval process and will be named Giza 97 for general cultivation. It was developed through artificial pollination of diversified parents utilizing pedigree selection technique. F1 population resulting from the parental crossways advanced by using pedigree method and selection beginning in the F2 generation. The superior families were selected from F5 generation based on yield potential, fiber quality and overall better performance over standard varieties. The regional trial conducted of five growing seasons from 2014 to 2018 in different six locations representing the cultivated zone of this cotton category, the promising cross is out yielded significantly all the standard varieties. The new cross is widely adapted and fulfills the requirements of both cotton growers by high yielding and spinners by high lint percentage and good fiber quality as a long staple cotton variety. The new cross was recommended to be released as a new cotton variety.
