Abstract:
      A field experiment, including seven water treatments and four nitrogen treatments, was conducted to e-valuate the effects of interaction of water management and nitrogen fertilizer on yield and water use efficiency during flow- ering-bolling stage of hybrid cotton Shiza No. 2 in Shihezi in 2008. The results showed that cotton yield decreased signif-icantly under mild water stress and moderate water stress during flowering-bolling stage under the condition of no-nitrogen treatment but insignificantly compared with 5 d-18 mm irrigation in each level of N-application. With nitrogen increas-ing, the cotton yield decreased significantly in 3 d-30 mm water treatment. The cotton yield and water use efficiency in-creased significantly under 75% FC and 3d-18 mm and 5 d-30 mm irrigation conditions. Therefore, it could be con-cluded from the comprehensive effect of interactions of water and nitrogen of cotton yield and water use eficiency that 5 d-30 mm and 3 d-18 mm water treatments with 300 kg/ hm2 nitrogen rate were the optimal irrigation strategy and nitro-gen application for hybrid cotton in Northem Xingjiang.
