Determining relationships between cottonseed and seedling traits measured under laboratory and greenhouse conditions with performance in the field will help validate selection techniques that have been used for genetic improvement of cotton. Ten cultivars representing three hybrid pools (MAR-1, MAR-2, and MAR-3) of the multi-adversity resistance (MAR) genetic program and five non-MAR cultivars were evaluated for performance in germinator, controlled temperature tank, and field tests. Each test was conducted twice over a two year period.
