Abstract

---

Cotton leaf curl virus poses a major threat to cotton productivity in Pakistan. Screening of germplasm to explore resistant source is a basic step towards the solution of this hazardous problem. With this objective genetic material comprising 11060 genotypes of cotton of different research centers was tested at Cotton Research Station, Vehari during 2002 to 2007. During 2002-03, 3694 genotypes were tested on the basis of cotton leaf curl virus disease incidence and 30 (Code No./varieties 124
