We aimed to evaluate the possibilities of increasing the ginning out-turn in multi-parent hybrid populations of cotton. Two genotypes with high ginning out-turn were crossed with seven F3 populations obtained from double crosses, and then fourteen F1 populations were created in 2020. The F1 populations, their grandparents, and two parents, a total of 23 genotypes, were compared by Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in 2021. Significant differences were detected among genotypes, including crosses and parents for seed cotton yield per plant, ginning out-turn, fiber fineness, and fiber strength. The orthogonal contrasts indicated that the average performance of hybrids was significantly higher than that of parents for ginning out-turn, seed cotton yield per plant, and fiber fineness. Standard heterosis was between -11.19% and 20.54% for seed cotton yield per plant; 4.71% and 16.03% for ginning out-turn. [(ST-468 × Claudia) × (Gloria × Carisma)] × Esperia should be transferred to further generations. Multi-parent hybrids could be used to create the required variance and maintain dominance for the improvement of yield and ginning out-turn.

Çok ebeveynli melez pamuk popülasyonlarında çırçır randımanını artırma olanakları değerlendirilmiştir. Sekiz adet çift melez F3 melez popülasyonu ile yüksek çırçır randımanına sahip iki genotip melezlenmiş ve 14 farklı F1 melez popülasyonu elde edilmiştir. Melezlerden ve ebeveynlerden oluşan genotipik farklılık tek bitki kütlü pamuk verimi, çırçır randımanı, lif inceliği ve lif dayanıklılığı yönünden önemli bulunmuştur. Ortogonal karşılaştırmalar melezlerin ortalama performansının çırçır randımanı, tek bitki kütlü pamuk verimi ve lif inceliği yönünden ebeveyn ortalamasından önemli düzeyde farklı olduğunu göstermiştir. Standart heterosis tek bitki kütlü pamuk için %-11.19 ile %20.54; çırçır randımanı için %4.71 ile %16.03 arasında değişmiştir. [(ST-468 × Claudia) × (Gloria × Carisma)] × Esperya melez kombinasyonunun ileri generasyonlara aktarılması gerektiği saptanmıştır. Çırçır randımanı ve kütlü pamuk verimini artırmayı amaçlayan ıslah çalışmalarında dominantlığı sürdürmek ve varyasyonu oluşturmak için çok ebeveynli melezlerin kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
