Popis: Yield and fiber quality comparisons of modern vs. obsolete cultivars and Pee Dee (PD) germplasm lines represent a measure of genetic gain for these traits and can be used to establish a base for estimating future breeding accomplishments. We evaluated 29 commercial cultivars and PD germplasm lines of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), 12 modern and 17 osbolete, in two tests per year for a 3-yr period (1979, 1980, 1981). The soils were a Norfolk fine sandy loam (fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Kandiudult) and a Norfolk loamy sand at Florence, SC(.)
