Abstract
An experiment was carried out during 2009 and 2010 growing seasons at cotton project of Anbar agriculture directorate – Haditha location. (120 km west of Ramadi city) .The objectives of the study were to determine the effect of planting methods (Rows and Furrows) on some of the quality properties for fiber and seeds of three cotton cultivars (Ashoor, Dies and Delta baith) under drip irrigation system. A split plot design in R.C.B.D was used in three replicates. Planting methods were considered as the main plots while the cotton cultivars as sub plots. Data were obtained on lint properties (length, strength and fineness) and seeds properties (oil and protein percentage). Results showed that fiber length, strength and fineness with planting method of furrows were increased significantly (3.40 microner fineness )at the first season, and (28.8mm fiber length and (20.1) gm/tex strength) at the second season. Protein percentage was (21.8) and (21.1%) for the two seasons respectively. Ashoor variety showed higher values for fiber length (28.8 and 29.2 mm), strength (23.9 and 23.4 gm/tex) fineness.(3.34 and 3.24 microner) and protein percentage (21.80 and 21.35%) gave for the two seasons respectively. Seed from the There are significant differences in the quality properties of fiber length, strength and fineness, and quality of the properties (oil and protein) due to the effect of planting methods and varieties.
