Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Cotton genotypes responded similarly to soil moisture regimes across evaluated traits.
- Intervention effect Irrigation delayed cotton cutout by an average of 6 days.
- Intervention effect Irrigated cotton sustained flowering later than dryland plants.
- Intervention effect Dryland cotton lint yield fell 25% in years with sufficient moisture deficits.
- Intervention effect Dryland cotton boll number fell 19% in years with sufficient moisture deficits.
- Intervention effect Irrigated cotton produced more bolls at higher nodes and distal branch positions than dryland cotton.
- Intervention effect Irrigation did not affect most cotton fiber traits.
