Adaptation performance field experiment on irrigated cotton cultivars for high productivity for large scale production and economic advantage were conducted in RCB Design by replicating four times to identify the high yielding with high quality cotton cultivar using surface irrigation at Tendaho sugar estate. All collected data were analyzed using GenStat 17th Edition software and mean comparisons among treatment means were made by LSD (5%). Cotton quality comparisons were also done based on the national quality measurement standards and the cotton quality laboratory analysis was done in Cotton Central accredited laboratory of Ethiopia under Ethiopian Textile Development and Research Institute. Significant difference (p<0.05) among the tested cotton cultivars were reported for stand count (SC), number of unopened balls per plant and percent of 65 percent opened ball. However, there were no significant variability for total cotton yield (Y (kg/ha), lint yield and moisture adjusted yield (MoiAd_Y_Qt_Ha) at (p<0.05) significance level. From the candidate cultivars, woyito and worer shown first and second high cotton productivity with 32 and 31.1 qt/ha cotton yield respectively followed by Stam-9-A as third with 30 qt/ha. In the other case, Stam-9-A and Delta ranked first for the major cotton quality standard measures. From this, it can be concluded that candidate genotype Stam-9-A which is third in productivity and first in cotton quality could have better advantage for the Estate. Therefore, based on the current adaptation trail result candidate cultivar Stam-9-A is recommended for commercial production in the study farm area.
