Abstract:
      To investigate the effects of dry sowing and wet seedling on cotton soil compaction, soil water and salt distribution and seedling emergence, six treatments and a control treatment were set up with different emergence water and irrigation frequency, namely WP1 (675 m3·hm-2), WP2 (900 m3·hm-2), WP3 (1 125 m3·hm-2), WP4 \[(675+225) m3·hm-2\], WP5 \[(675+450) m3·hm-2\], WP6 \[(675+300+225) m3·hm-2\] and winter irrigation treatments. The indexes of topsoil cover slab, water content and salinity before and after irrigation, seedling emergence, plant height, and stem thickness for each treatment were measured. The results showed that the surface soil slump was affected by the total amount of irrigation water and the frequency of irrigation, and the WP4 treatment had the lowest surface soil slump (99.87 kPa), and a small amount of high\|frequency irrigation reduced the surface soil slump. The conductivity between the membranes was the highest for each treatment, being more than 9% higher than that of the narrow\|row soil. The highest seedling emergence (84.74%) was observed for the WP4 treatment. The narrow\|row conductivity, narrow\|row water content and top\|soil bulking all had significant negative correlations with seedling emergence, and soil water content and narrow\|row conductivity showed significant negative correlations with plant height and stem thickness. By evaluating the seedling emergence rate and growth index of each treatment, WP4 treatment was the best treatment.
