Deficit irrigation is one of the most important methods of management of irrigation
to save irrigation water without much damage to plants, the aims of this researches to
management the water irrigation of cotton crop in Nineveh province–north of Iraq,
RCBD experiment was conducted in the field of agriculture technical college, in Mosul
city, during the season 2011 for the cultivation of cotton, cocker-310, using different
irrigation levels 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity with drip irrigation method, The
results shown, there are significant different at 0.01 for treatment 100% full irrigation
for plant height, seed index, lint index, lint percentage, and lint cotton yield, reached
107.4cm, 9.78g, 4.98g, 33.7% , 477.13kg/h respectively. There are significant differences
for level 100% at 0.05 for seed cotton yield was reached 1443kg/h. The trend analysis
for irrigation levels shows there is linear function between amount of irrigation and
plant height , lint percentage, seed cotton yield and lint cotton yield kg/h, quadratic
function between irrigation amount and lint index, cubic function between irrigation
amount and seed index |
