Four promising strains viz. CRIS-19, CRIS-82, CRIS-133 and CRIS-134 developed by CCRI, Sakrand along with 12 other strains of Punjab were included in this trial for their yield and insect resistance performance. In Sindh Region first three positions out of sixteen were secured by Sakrand varieties having 36 percent advantage of seed cotton yield over NIAB-78, the check variety. In Multan Region Sakrand variety CRIS-134 securing fourth position yielded 5.8 percent more seed cotton, whereas in Faisalabad Region Sakrand variety CRIS-19 with second position produced 31.9 percent more yield than-NIAB-78 the check variety. On an average of 16 locations the three top yielding Sakrand varieties CRIS-134, CRIS- 19 and CRIS-82 produced 18.9, 17.4 and 16.3 percent more seed cotton yield respectively than NIAB-78, the check variety. Minimum whitefly attack was observed on Sakrand varieties CRIS-82 and CRIS-19, whereas minimum bollworm damage percent was recorded in CRIS-82 at Multan. At Sakrand minimum jassid attack was observed on CRIS-82.
