Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of detailed observations of cotton breeding in India. The author begins by reviewing prior attempts to establish non-native cotton, noting these efforts have a record of failure. The author finds a primary reason behind this failure is the replacement, over generations, of introduced cotton with strains of local, native cotton that are better adapted to the Indian climate. The author also examines the effects of cross-pollination and self-fertilization within and between varieties and species of Indian cotton. This examination provided insights into the frequency of cross-fertilization and the resulting sterility, as well as the degree of sterility induced by repeated self-fertilization. The depth of this research, including the methods used along with the results, are included in this book.
