Boll distribution provides an important assessment of the response and adaptation of upland
cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to its environment and is strongly linked to yield and fiber …

Whole‐plant‐based measurements do not always accurately reflect the effect of drought on
cotton because of its indeterminate growth habits. We conducted pot experiments with cotton …

Improving the quality of cotton fiber is an important way to increase the competitiveness of
cotton in the international market. However, how to improve fiber quality as much as …

Irrigated agriculture in the Texas High Plains (THP) region faces severe challenges due to
rapidly declining groundwater levels in the underlying Ogallala Aquifer, recurring droughts …

Determining optimum irrigation termination periods for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is
crucial for efficient utilization and conservation of finite groundwater resources of the …

Yield and fiber quality of cotton even varies within locules in a boll, but it is not clear how
yield components and quality parameters are altered across seed positions of a locule …

Highlights Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) has continued to expand in irrigation area within
the US during the last 15 years. Research with SDI continues for multiple crop types (fiber …

Water deficit at certain cotton growth stages can cause severe damage to crop development,
affecting physiological processes and reducing reproductive structures, with consequent …

Identification of efficient crop-growth-stage-based deficit irrigation strategies for cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.) can play a pivotal role in optimizing the use of available irrigation …

The individual effect of high temperatures or water‐deficit stress on cotton has been studied
extensively; however, their combined effects were less studied. To that end, an experiment …
