ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this research, prepared from here, is to comparatively analyze the technical and economic performances of different cotton varieties. The research was conducted in 2017-2020. The applications were carried out in the trial area of the Plant Protection and Technical Plants Research Institute in the Samuh region of Azerbaijan. Local Ganja-110 cotton variety and S-6524 (Uzbekistan), Akala Beret (Israel), BA-440 (Türkiye), Tashauz-68 (Turkmenistan) and Selekt (Greece) cotton varieties brought from other countries were used as materials in the research.Varieties of cotton differ from each other in terms of the yield of raw cotton, and the yield indicator according to three-year data is 43.8 c/ha in Ganja-110, 33.0 c/ha in BA-440, 34.6 c/ha in Selekt, 31.0 c/ha in Akala Beret, 36.2 c/ha in S-6524 and in Tashauz-68 it is 33.2 c/ha (c = centner, 1 centner = 100 kg). In cotton varieties Selekt and BA-440, the mass of raw cotton in one boll is lower, since the bolls are small (5.4 - 5.9 g, respectively). The BA-440 varieties introduced from Turkey and the Selekt varieties imported from Greece have a high fiber output (40-42%), which led to a high fiber yield (13.2 and 13.8 c/ha). The net return that can be obtained after growing Ganja-110 cotton variety was calculated as 258.60 USD/ha and was higher than other varieties.
