ABSTRACT:
Cotton plants may be rendered male sterile while retaining substantial female fertility by contracting the plants with a gametocidally effective amount of a novel compound which has the formula: ##STR1## where X is oxygen, sulfur, or ##STR2## and where R is a substituted and unsubstituted aryl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy and alkene group, and maintaining the effective amount for a sufficient time to form sterile plant flowers that can then be pollinated by a second variety cotton plant to provide cotton having hybrid cotton seeds.
