Abstract:

The objective of this study was to investigate the extent of the yield increase and fiber quality improvement with nitrogen fertilizer application at different developing periods for high fiber quality cotton. Two cultivars of high quality cotton, hybrid Kemian 1, and conventional Kemian 4, were used to study the effect of nitrogen application on boll weight, boll volume and fiber quality. The five experiments were conducted on the farm of Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Crops Genetics and Physiology of Yangzhou University from 2003 to 2005, the first experiment was the ratio of nitrogen fertilizer at transplanting, flowering and boll setting, peak boll setting period of 20:60:20, 10:60:30, 25:65:10 for Kemian 1, and 20:60:20, 15:70:15, 10:75:15 for Kemian 4, the second was the basic nitrogen fertilizer at transplanting of 10%, 20%, 30% for Kemian 1, and 10%, 15%, 20% for Kemian 4, the third was 0, 20%, 30%, 40% of the nitrogen fertilizer at early floweringperiod for both cultivars, the fourth was the nitrogen fertilizer applied at 17,19,21 leaf age on main stem, and the fifth was the nitrogen fertilizer at peak boll setting period of 10%, 20%, 25% for Kemian 1, and 10%, 15%, 20% for Kemian 4. The results showed that bigger boll and better fiber quality were gotten under the application of 208.5 to 243.0 kg nitrogen per hectare, and the treatment of nitrogen fertilizer 20%, 60%, 20% for Kemian 1, and 15%, 70%, 15% for Kemian 4, respectively in the first experiment. 30% of nitrogen fertilizer applied at early flowering was optimal for the development of bigger boll and better fiber quality, 15%–20% of nitrogen fertilizer applied at the peak boll setting period was best for development of the late boll in autumn. The nitrogen fertilizer application at peak flowering period was earlier at 17 leaf age, later at 21 leaf age, and optimal at 19 to 20 leaf age on the main stem. The correlation analysis indicated further that there were positive correlation between boll size, boll weight and yield, fiber quality. The nitrogen fertilizer application at the early flowering period was beneficial to develop bigger boll, higher yield and better fiber quality. These results suggest that the key of the high lint yield and good fiber quality is to develop big boll for the high fiber quality cotton.
