DETERMINATION OF VEGETATIVE AND GENERATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT COTTON VARIETIES UNDER DROUGHT STRESS

key words: Cotton, Irrigation Level, Drought, Drought tolerance, Growth Periods

Summary:

The research was carried out to determine the effect of different irrigation water requirements of different irrigation levels (mm), on the evapotranspiration seed yield (kg da-1) with vegetative and generative properties of two cotton types (drought tolerant, BA 525) and (drought susceptible, Lydia), in the Eastern Mediterranean region (Turkey). Drought or water deficit stress elicits many different phenological responses in plants.The study of vegetative features included the fresh and dry weight of plant (g), leaf area (cm2), number of leaves (number plant-1), number of fruit branches (number plant-1), number of bud formation (number plant-1) and number of node (number plant-1).This result indicates that water stress in plants limit the phenological development significantly and the average of all measurements made after flowering has been observed to decrease.
