t0“Effects of Deficit Drip Irrigation Ratios on Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Yield and Fibre Quality”
e1“WUE was found to increase from 0.62 to 0.71 kg m −3 as the irrigation water applied was reduced from 100 % to 75 % of soil water depletion”
e2“A field trial was conducted to observe the effects of various drip irrigation ratios”

Effects of Deficit Drip Irrigation Ratios on Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Yield and Fibre Quality

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Drip irrigation at the 75 % level did not reduce seed cotton yield or yield components over two years.
- Intervention effect Drip irrigation at the 75 % level reduced the number of bolls in 2005.
- Intervention effect No significant difference in fibre length, fineness or uniformity index between 100 % and 75 % irrigation in 2005.
- Intervention effect No significant difference in fibre elongation between 100 % and 75 % irrigation in 2005.
- Recommendation Drip irrigation at the 75 % level is recommended because it saves irrigation water without reducing yield.
