Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Sowing date had significant effects on all growth parameters, in favour of early planting.
- Intervention effect Early sowing favoured the number of open bolls per plant, boll weight and number of plants per feddan at harvest.
- Intervention effect Early sowing favoured seed index and seed cotton yield per feddan.
- Intervention effect Early sowing favoured upper half mean length and micronaire reading of fiber.
- Intervention effect Early sowing favoured reflectance and yellowness of the fiber.
- Intervention effect Sowing date did not significantly affect lint percentage, uniformity index or fiber strength in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Sowing date did not significantly affect fiber elongation percentage in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium with foliar zinc significantly increased plant height at harvest, nodes per plant and sympodia per plant compared with the other fertilization treatments.
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium with foliar zinc significantly increased open bolls per plant, boll weight and seed index compared with the other fertilization treatments.
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium with foliar zinc significantly increased seed cotton yield compared with the other fertilization treatments.
- Intervention effect Efficiency of heat unit use by cotton plants increased under normal sowing rather than late sowing.
- Recommendation Foliar potassium and zinc applications at beginning of flowering are recommended to increase yield and its components under normal or late sowing.
