Two levels of irrigation, three levels of row spacing and three levels of plant spacing were incorporated in the study. The water used for irrigation and the field soil type were sodic. The drip irrigated plots registered kapas yield of 730 kg/ac where as the furrow irrigated plots registered 666 kg/ac.
