Abstract: Yields were influenced both by water management and variety, with an intermediate irrigation treatment generally most favorable. Low spring temperature reduced yields, especially on a soil having high water-retention capacity. Excessive irrigation caused rank growth in all varieties, but a significant variety-irrigation interaction was observed. Fiber quality was influenced by water management as well as by cotton variety. Less-frequent irrigation generally reduced fiber length in all varieties but the reduction was less for the two Acala varieties. Reduced frequency of irrigation lowered elongation percentage but increased fiber strength.
