Abstract

One of the main goals of cotton production in Uzbekistan is the development of high-yielding cotton varieties resistant to abiotic and biotic factors, as well as the establishment of a sustainable seed industry. A stable seed production infrastructure not only improves yields but also significantly enhances product quality. In this regard, the selection of the most optimal methods for the production of elite (basic) seeds is of great importance. The most widely used method of seed multiplication ensures the quality and longevity of a breeding variety. Standards must be harmonized with international requirements. Maintaining genetic identity through various methods of reproducing registered breeding varieties is one of the key goals to prevent accelerated genetic degradation during seed multiplication. To meet standardization requirements, it is crucial to develop an optimal, scientifically based methodology for producing elite (basic) cotton seeds, which is a mandatory condition in the seed industry. In recent years, great attention has been paid to the intensive development of the textile industry in the Republic of Uzbekistan, which is one of the main sources of employment and foreign currency income. Cultivating high-quality cotton seeds for sowing increases the amount of cotton raw material, ensures the production of fiber with high technological properties, and enables the manufacture of competitive products. One of the main objectives is to organize cotton fiber production, preserve and improve varietal diversity, and enhance seed quality. For this purpose, in the near future it is necessary to improve and introduce modern methods of obtaining original and elite seeds that ensure the dimensional uniformity and quality of promising varieties, and contribute to the preservation and improvement of valuable varietal characteristics under deteriorating environmental conditions and water scarcity.
