Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Large and small boll cotton had similar boll volume and dry matter trends but different growth and accumulation rates under both irrigation conditions.
- Observation Under well-watered irrigation, large boll cotton accumulated 29.17% more dry matter per boll than small boll cotton at 42 DPA.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced cotton boll dry matter accumulation.
- Intervention effect Water deficit decreased seed cotton dry matter accumulation in LB cotton by 20.45%.
- Intervention effect Water deficit decreased boll shell dry matter accumulation in LB cotton by 3.24%.
- Intervention effect Water deficit decreased seed cotton dry matter accumulation in SB cotton by 16.76%.
- Intervention effect Water deficit decreased boll shell dry matter accumulation in SB cotton by 2.81%.
- Observation Small boll cotton had 36.28% more harvestable bolls per plant than large boll cotton under water deficit.
- Observation Small boll cotton lint yield was 1042.45 kg·ha −1, comparable to large boll varieties.
- Observation Small boll cotton seed cotton yield was 2459.67 kg·ha −1, comparable to large boll varieties.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced cotton fibre length and strength, with a greater effect in large boll varieties.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased cottonseed relative protein content of cottonseed.
- Intervention effect Water deficit decreased cottonseed relative oil content.
- Observation Small boll cotton seeds had higher germination potential than large boll seeds under water deficit.
- Observation Small boll cotton required less dry matter accumulation for boll maturation than large boll cotton.
- Observation Water deficit had a smaller impact on yield and quality of small boll cotton than large boll cotton.
- Recommendation The authors conclude small boll cotton is more tolerant of water deficit and may perform better in severe arid areas.
