Assembly and field evaluation of a set of naturally occurring day-neutral cotton landraces under rainfed and irrigated conditions

Key Points

• Day-neutral cotton landraces exhibit diverse agronomic traits across different water conditions, optimizing yield potential.
• The evaluation showed differences in performance metrics, with some landraces outperforming others by 15% in yield under irrigated conditions.
• Observational analysis focused on phenotypic traits and agronomic performance in both rainfed and irrigated areas.
• These findings may enable improved cotton cultivation strategies in varying moisture environments, promoting sustainability.
