Organic cotton consists of a new industrial crop product. Field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of mycorrhiza on fiber quality parameters and yield components of cotton crop (Gossypium hirsutum L.). The experiments, conducted during 2006 and 2007, were laid out in a split plot design with four replicates, two main plots (organic and conventional system) and two sub-plots (cotton varieties: Athena and Fandom). There were statistically significant differences in reflectance between these two varieties. Moreover, there were correlation between lint characteristics and regression as well as linear functions between AMF and statistical important values of lint characteristics.
