EFFECT OF SOIL MOISTURE STRESS ON SEED YIELD AND QUALITY OF COTTON CV. MCU 7

Abstract

Seed yield and quality attributes were studied in MCU 7 summer seed cotton crop raised. under different levels of soil moisture stress treatments. Irrigation below 0.6 IW/CPW ratio registered significant reduction in seed cotton yield, seed yield, 100-seed weight, germination, vigour index and storability. The seed crop of MCU 7 should be irrigated prior to 0.61W/CPW ratio.
