Abstract: Cotton fiber length is one of the important criteria of cotton quality, and fiber elongation is influenced by many factors. To study effect of fruiting-branch position, temperature-light factor and nitrogen rates on dynamic changes of cotton fiber length, we carried out the field experiments in Nanjing (118º50′E, 32º02′N, middle lower reaches of Yangtze River Valley) and Xuzhou (117°11′E, 34°15′N, Yellow River Valley). Cotton cultivars of Kemian 1 and NuCOTN 33B were used. Two sowing dates and three nitrogen application levels were applied, thus cotton fiber developing process can be arranged at different fruiting-branch position and ecological conditions. The results showed that cotton bolls developed in the middle-branch position produced longer fiber than that in lower- and upper-branch positions, but the dynamic changes of fiber length were not significant among different fruiting branches. PTP can be an indicator assessing temperature-light effect during cotton fiber elongation period. The maximum elongation rate (Vmax) and duration of fiber speedy elongation period (T) were linearly corelated with PTP, while the theoretical maximum of cotton fiber length (Lenm) was quadratic with PTP. The longest Lenm (30.94 and 30.31 mm for Kemian 1 and NuCOTN 33B, respectively) was obtained at PTP of 335 MJm–2 in cotton fiber elongation period (333.3 and 337.9 MJ·m–2 for Kemian 1 and NuCOTN 33B,respectively), when Vmax was 1.3 mm d–1 and T was 16 d. There exists an interaction between N fertilization and PTP on fiber elongation. As N fertilization increased, values of PTP for obtaining the longest Lenm decreased. And when PTPwas greater than 240 MJm–2 (237.6 and 241.6 MJm–2 for Kemian 1 and NuCOTN 33B, respectively), NA under 240 kg N ha–1 was more suitable for the elongation of cotton fiber; while PTP was less than that value, NA under 480 kg N ha–1 was more appropriate.
