This study focuses on the development of an early-maturing cotton variety adapted to the environmental conditions of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Utilizing amphidiploid hybrids of Gossypium thurberi Tod. and Gossypium raimondii Ulbr., the research aims to create a variety that meets the local agricultural requirements, including resistance to abiotic stress and optimized yield in the region’s unique climate. Field trials and genetic analysis were conducted to identify key traits such as maturity, fiber quality, and stress tolerance. The resulting variety demonstrates potential for enhancing cotton production in arid and semi-arid regions of Karakalpakstan.
