Abstract
An experiment was conducted during 2001 and 2002 growing season, to study the effect of the location of seed beds on cotton yield as a managing practice to livable with soil salinity. Four seed beds locations were used for sowing the cotton seeds (Coker var.) in furrow irrigated row at Al- Radhwani area. They were topped bed, upper third part, lower third part, and bottom of furrow in Randomized Completely Block Design with three replications. The results indicated that the sowing of cotton seed in topped bed gave a significant increase on yield of seed cotton, weight of boll / plan, plants length, dry shoots and dry roots. Increasing of yield of seed cotton follow up the sequence from high to low topped bed > upper third part > lower third part > bottom of furrow. Mean while the results tended to a possibility to use topped bed practice as a one of satisfactory stand of furrow irrigated row on livable with salinity through reducing of salt accumulation near the seeds and roots. Since most of the salts move into the centre of the bed and the shoulders leaving relatively low quantity of salts.
