Adaptation of the newly isolated cotton mutants to the cambodia's climate condition
Abstract:
Cotton is an important industrial crop for textile production. However, it has been observed that the production is almost abandoned in Cambodia, due primarily to the low price of cotton fiber, poor fiber quality, and pest insect problem. To address these problems, Prek Leap National College of Agriculture (PNCA) in collaboration with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has currently introduced two cotton mutant varieties, namely NIAB-KIRAN and NIAB-414. These mutant varieties have been grown and tested in greenhouse condition of PNCA. The mutant and control plants were grown in a bag containing 20 kg of soil in the greenhouse. The experiment was designed as Completely Randomised Design (CRD) with 4 replicates. The results revealed that the two mutant NIAB-KIRAN and NIAB-414 grow faster and flowered earlier than the local control variety (28- TD4). Interestingly, NIAB-KIRAN can produce a higher number of fruits per plant than NIAB-414, whereas the control plant did not produce any fruits at the 60 days-old stages. Though NIAB-414 showed lower yield than NIAB-KIRAN, it is more tolerant than NIAB-KIRAN and 28-TD4 regarding insect susceptibility. In conclusion, the newly isolated mutants NIAB-KIRAN and NIAB-414 are adaptive to greenhouse condition in Cambodias climate, and further experiment is required to evaluate the adaptation of the newly isolated mutants in the wide-open environment.
