<b>Interrelations between agronomic and technological fiber traits in upland cotton [PDF]

Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2018
Fiber length stands out among technological traits as one that still needs to be improved in cotton. Thus, the objectives of this work were to quantify the interrelations between agronomic and technological fiber traits and to identify traits that could be used for the indirect selection of cotton genotypes with longer fiber lengths.
