Abstract:
      Selecting Xinluzao 32 as experimental material, the effects of different row spacing patterns (66+10 cm, 72+4 cm) on growth and photosynthetic production of machine-harvested cotton were studied under the natural ecological environment in Xinjiang. The results showed that the 72+4 pattern was advantageous to cotton growth in early period, because of the high coverage of plastic film, large lighting area and high soil temperature, whereas the 66+10 pattern was in favor of cotton growth in late period, because of its advantages in ventilation and transmission of light. Compared with 72+4 pattern, the 66+10 pattern brought forward growth period by 3 days, raised plant height by 15.66%, and increased leaves by 13.53% with a significant level. Therefore, the 66+10 pattern could coordinate vegetative and reproductive growth of cotton effectively, promote dry matter accumulation in reproductive organs, increase proportion of peripheral bolls, and thus make a contribution to high yield.
