The article investigates fiber quality traits in five F₃ hybrid combinations of cotton. The experiments were conducted in comparison with the standard variety C-6524. The results showed that all F₃ combinations surpassed the control variety in fiber length, with the highest indicators recorded in F₃ Andijan-36 × Omad (33.9 mm) and F₃ Andijan-35 × Omad (33.8 mm) combinations. In terms of fiber yield, the F₃ Andijan-36 × Omad combination demonstrated the best result (38.8%), exceeding the control variety C-6524 (36.1%) by 2.7%.
