Abstract:
      A field experiment was conducted to study the relativity of cotton chlorophy and yield by zinc regulation. The results showed clearly that regardless of high or low levels of zinc, cotton leaf chlorophyll content was highest in flourishing bud period. However, at the different stages, changes of chlorophyll content to zinc levels were different, which resulted from the differences of metabolism capabilities and substances accumulating power through photosynthesis. A binary correlativity showed between zinc level and cotton yield. Fitting equation was y=-0.1625x2+7.8751x+280.56. However, the trends of marginal production by increasing zinc level were: quick (positive)-slow(positive)-quickly (negative)-slow (negative). At different growth stages, zinc levels for the largest value of chlorophyll con-tent of cotton functional leaf were: 20 kg/hm2 in seedling stage, 10 kg/hm2 in flourishing bud period, 30 kg/hm2 in full flowering stage, 20 kg/hm2 in bell stage and 30 kg/hm2 in boll period.
