Growth and yield characteristics of six cotton cultivars i.e. MNH-93, CIM-448, NIAB-78, CIM-146, (CIM-1100 and Karishma were studied at Faculty of Agriculture, Gomal University, D.I. Khan during 2004 in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in a net plot size of 2.7 x 5.5 m2. Significant differences (P less than or equal to 0.05) among various cultivars were observed for all the traits. Mean values showed that CIM-1100 produced the highest plant height (143.3 cm) with maximum stalk yield (12.50 kg plot-1). The cultivar Karishma produced maximum bolls plant-1 (51.14) and seed cotton yield (2181.0 kg ha-1), while the cultivar CIM-446 produced maximum number of sympodial branches plant-1.
