BA440

The variety, well adapted to the Southeastern Anatolia region, possesses very high yield potential and a wide range of adaptability. It has a pyramidal plant type with medium plant height and few vegetative branches, forming a strong and compact structure suitable for mechanical harvesting.The highly hairy leaf type confers tolerance to Empoasca leafhopper damage, while its large, oval bolls and strong boll opening ensure uniform maturity. The variety also shows tolerance to fiber shedding and boll exposure losses, maintaining lint quality and minimizing pre-harvest losses.It is tolerant to Verticillium wilt and performs well under a wide range of soil conditions, showing particularly high yield performance on light to medium-textured soils. The variety is very early maturing and suitable for double cropping, making it an ideal choice for regions with short growing seasons.In the Southeastern Anatolia region, the variety demonstrates excellent overall performance, combining earliness, stability, and strong yield potential.
