Fruiting and Growth Characteristics of Cotton in Relation to Soil Moisture Tension1

R. R. Bruce and M. J. M. Römkens2

Synopsis: Square initiation was reduced by increased tension limit and was directly related to plant height increase prior to 4 weeks past first bloom. Associated with the greater square production of treatments at low tension all season was a greater number of squares shed. Bloom production was also progressively reduced by increasing the tension limit. Prior to maximum fruit load square and post-bloom abscission relative to total fruit production was not significantly affected by tensions of 2.5 atmospheres.
