Title

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Subsurface drip irrigated cotton produced similar or higher lint yields than overhead irrigated cotton.
- Intervention effect Nonirrigated cotton matured earliest, and overhead irrigated cotton matured latest.
- Intervention effect Subsurface drip required 4.4, 8.2 and 0.5 cm less irrigation than overhead irrigation at the three locations.
- Observation Subsurface drip provided adequate soil water.
- Intervention effect Water use efficiency of subsurface drip irrigated cotton was 23 and 15% higher than overhead irrigated cotton in two experiments.
- Intervention effect Micronaire was higher in cotton from the SSD Fed treatment than in the overhead treatment in two locations.
- Recommendation Subsurface drip irrigation is concluded to give the same positive effects as overhead irrigation in cotton production while reducing irrigation water use.
