Abstract:Improving crop yield, quality and water use are crucial in dealing with climate change and water scarcity in arid regions. With the advent of wholly mechanized technology for cotton planting in Xinjiang, it is important to determine the mode with optimizing row configuration, plant density and topping. This study aims to explore the effects of two plant densities, chemical topping vs manual topping under two different common row configurations, i.e. 76 cm equal rows and 10+66 cm narrow-wide rows, which are use… Show more
