This study was conducted on sandy loam soil in semi arid region of Punjab at PAU Regional Research Station, Bathinda. Four different American cotton Bt hybrids (RCH134 BG I, MRC 6304 BG I, MRC 7017 BG II, MRC 7031 BG II) and one American variety (LH 2076) were compared to study the effect of sodic water (Residual sodium carbonate 6.4 meq/l and electrical conductivity 2200 µmhos/cm) on growth and seed cotton yield as compared to good quality canal water irrigation. The results revealed that various yield attributing characters varied significantly with quality of irrigation water among various cultivars of upland cotton tested in the experiment. Among different cultivars MRC 7017 showed excellent performance even under sodic water. The reduction in seed cotton yield in sodic water irrigation as compared to canal water was the lowest in MRC 7017 (4.6%), followed by MRC 7031 (8.5%), MRC 6304 (10.5%), RCH 134 (10.6%) and LH 2076 (18.5%). Similar trend was observed in yield attributing characters also. Not Available |
