چکیده مقاله:

There is a lack of sufficient information on cotton responses to time and amount of foliar application of potassium (K) under salt stress environment, The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of potassium (as Solupotasse 50% K2O and 18% S) rate and application time on yield and yield components of cotton under saline field condition. A factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in Sabzevar Agriculture and Natural Resources Research center in 2015. Factors were: K rate (0, 1, 2 and 3%) and K foliar application time (at early flowering, at peak boll formation and at early flowering + peak boll formation). Increasing of K concentration to 3% increased plant height, sympodial branch number, boll number, boll weight, seed cotton yield and lint yield. Lint percent was not affected by potassium concentration. The highest boll number and lint yield was obtained when potassium spraying at early flowering stage whereas foliar application at peak boll formation had the highest plant height and boll weight. The maximum seed cotton yield was obtained at K application twice at early flowering + peak boll formation. The results obtained here suggest that 3% K application (as Solupotasse) at early flowering + peak boll formation stage can improve the seed cotton yield grown under salt stress environment.

Nucleic Acid Metabolism during Germination of Pima Cotton (Gossypium barbadense).

The nucleic acid metabolism in long staple Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) was examined during the first 48 hours of germination at 34 C. Specific activity analysis of pulselabeled nucleic acids indicated that the first significant incorporation of precursors into DNA occurs at approximately 18 hours when the radicles are emerging with a peak of incorporation occurring at 36 hours. Specif...

Effect of Nitrogen on Seed Cotton Yield and Fiber Qualities of Cotton (gossypium Hirsutum L.) Cultivars

Seed cotton yield and fiber qualities may be significantly altered by a number of agronomic practices. The present study investigates the effect of nitrogen levels on cotton cultivar's seed cotton yield and fiber quality traits. Three cotton cultivars (NIAB-111, CIM496 and FH901) were tested against four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha) to check reliability, the highest yielding and g...

Development of Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) core collection using genotypic values

A core collection usually provides an effective entry to access to entire genetic resource. It could simplify screening potential of breeding materials in a manageable size. In order to phenotypic evaluations, a completely randomized block designed experiment was carried out for 265 Sea Island cotton varieties. A mixed linear model approach was employed to predict genotypic values of two fiber ...
