Abstract
Genetic variability, correlations and path coefficients were studied in deshi cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.) taking 26 phenotypically diverse genotypes. Moderate to high estimates of heritability along with high genetic advance were observed for fineness micronaire, lint yield/plant, bartlett's index, seed cotton yield/plant and number of bolls/plant. The seed cotton yield was closely associated with lint yield/plant, bolls/plant, plant height, boll weight and bartlett's index. Considering the association and path analysis, lint yield/plant, bolls/plant and boll weight had a great influence on seed cotton yield/plant.
