While only about 35% of the cotton acreage in the U.S. is irrigated, for those acres that are irrigated, we must practice wise use of water and ensure that in water-limited regions we get the “most crop per drop,” or simply increased “water productivity.”

2021年9月8日 · With water shortages occurring more frequently nowadays, researchers have developed many approaches for irrigation-water management to optimize yield and water-use efficiency. This review covers different irrigation methods and their effects on cotton yield.

Irrigating emerging and seedling cotton during cool weather promotes seedling disease. Pivot sprinkler irrigation is also highly useful in activating pre-emergence herbicides.

Comparisons between surface-irrigated cotton and drip fertigated cotton have revealed remarkable improvements, with seed cotton yield (SCY) increasing by over 50% in the latter case (Janat and Somi 2001).

2024年12月1日 · The objectives of this study are to (1) investigate the dynamic changes in and consumption characteristics of soil moisture in various soil layers and at different growth stages under different irrigation regimes; (2) comprehensively compare and determine efficient irrigation systems for cotton growth, biomass accumulation, yield formation and ...

There are different types of irrigation systems for cotton production: surface irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation systems. For surface irrigation, siphon tubes are placed in a ditch and water is distributed between the rows of crops.

Climate change is likely to offer both opportunities and challenges to irrigated cotton growing in NSW by 2050. Cotton is a perennial plant grown as an annual summer crop. The growing season for irrigated cotton can be up to 180 days, usually between October and May in NSW. The map shows the major NSW cotton growing regions.

2025年1月1日 · This chapter includes some main topics on the effects of climate change on cotton yield and production, irrigation relationship, irrigation scheduling that increases cotton yield and quality, the effect of different irrigation methods and/or systems on water use and water productivity, and the use of technology in cotton irrigation management.

5 天之前 · Our algorithm significantly improved local cotton irrigation strategies, addressing water scarcity issues and optimizing irrigation practices by effectively managing both over-irrigation and under-irrigation scenarios.
