Summary

The effects of moisture stress during various stages of the development of two varieties of upland cotton (Acala 4–42 and Deltapine Smoothleaf) were studied in two irrigation experiments in the Bet-She'an valley, where summer temperatures were high and evapotranspiration in the fully irrigated treatments was up to 8–10 mm./day in July and August. Optimum time for first irrigation in the Bet-She'an valley was two or three weeks before flowering and six or seven irrigations, if timed to prevent moisture stress, were sufficient to give high yields and good lint quality. Lint yield ranged from 270 kg./ha. in non-irrigated to 2000 kg./ha. in the fully irrigated treatments in 1966.
