Abstract:
      In order to explore convenient and efficient irrigation pattern of cotton with drip irrigation under the condition of film mulch, field plot experiment was conducted to study the effects of different water treatments on the growth and seed cotton yield of cotton in Xinjiang in 2007 and 2009. The results of tests in two growth seasons showed that negative effects of continuous water deficit treatment on seed cotton yield and water consumption process was found at the bud and boll stages compared to the sufficient irrigation treatment during the whole growth period of cotton with drip irrigation under mulch; but the seed cot ton yield and water use efficiency were improved respectively by -1.20%~1.69% and 27.94%~34.85% under timely and moderate water deficit treatment, and 22.78%~24.88% of irrigation water was saved. It suggests that the irrigation approach of Regulated Deficit Irrigation (moderate water deficit during bud emergence (70% water surface evaporation was irrigated), severe water deficit during boll stage (50% water surface evaporation was irrigated ), and sufficient water supply during flowering stage (100% water surface evaporation was irrigated )) is suitable and practical on cotton with drip irrigation under film mulch in Xinjiang.
