Abstract: Cotton is a cash crop of India and it plays a key role in the economy of the country for earning of foreign exchange. American cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the highest fibre producing specie of the world. The present study was conducted to check the comparison of morphological data, with check varieties AKH-081, PKV-Rajat and AKH-8828 at Cotton Research Unit, Akola during the year 2016 and 2017. The results of morphological traits revealed that field grown cotton genotypes showed variation in morphological characters and growth parameters. The highest plant height (122.60 cm) at harvest was observed in AKH-1303. Similarly, both maximum leaf area (37.25 dm2) and total dry matter (68.30g) at harvest was reported in cotton check variety AKH-081 respectively. The best number of leaves (49.30) at harvest was recorded in AKH-1301 genotype. There were significant differences observed in morphological and growth parameters of cotton genotypes. The genotype AKH-1303 showed better performance in case of growth parameters like Leaf area index (2.07) and Absolute growth rate (-0.25g/day) at harvest stage.
