A new high-yielding variety of cotton was developed in Turkmenistan

A new variety of fine-fiber cotton has been developed in Turkmenistan. The new crop was named Ýolöten-54. Scientist M. Meredov and his colleagues managed to achieve high results in breeding with state support. They conducted trials in the fields, and as a result they received more than 50 centners of cotton per hectare.

Before receiving such an impressive harvest, scientists conducted a large number of tests with cotton seeds in the fields of the specialized experimental station of Iolotan etrap, which was built back in 1925.

The new crop is expected to be planted in the fields of the country next year. For this purpose, the Turkmen Ministry of Agriculture will allocate lands of the Daikhan association "Atchapar"

Previously, breeders bred well-known varieties: Ýolöten-50, Ýolöten-53, Garaşsyzlyk-30. Scientists plan to continue research and conduct experiments in breeding to breed new varieties of cotton with higher yields.
