Abstract
The estimation of heritability, genetic advance and direct effect of yield attributing components on seed cotton yield have been used to develop indirect selection criteria. For this purpose, seven parents and their F2 populations were evaluated for the identification of superior populations to be transferred to further generations. Claudia x AGC-208, Claudia x AGC-85 and MD x AGC-85 combinations were superior F2 populations for seed cotton yield and fiber quality. The highest heritability and genetic advance were recorded in boll number and fiber fineness. The results of correlation and path analysis indicated that boll number, days to first boll opening and boll weight could be used as selection criteria to improve seed cotton yield.
