Seed cotton yield, lint yield, and yield components for an asymptomatic cultivar (A) and different stages of disease progression in symptomatic cultivars (S0 through S3) of cotton in 2020.
| Treatment | Seed-cotton yield (g plant−1) | Lint yield (g plant−1) | Bolls plant−1 (no.) | Boll mass (g) | Seed boll−1 (no.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 45 b | 19 b | 10 bc | 4.39 ab | 27 a |
| S0 | 93 a | 46 a | 19 a | 4.94 a | 26 a |
| S1 | 1 c | 1 c | 2 c | 3.29 bc | 19 ab |
| S2 | 1c | 1 c | 1 c | 2.57 c | 15 b |
| S3 | 1 c | 0 c | 1 c | 1.74 c | 10 b |
Post hoc means separation was performed using Fisher’s protected LSD analysis. Mean values followed by the same letter in each column are not significantly different at p≤0.05.
