“…This is consistent with Silvertooth et al. (2011), who recommended first bloom and the recommendations in Arkansas, which were to start petiole sampling 1 wk prior to first bloom (Sabbe & Zelinskit, 1990).…”

“…Pennington and Tucker (1984) state that their published critical levels are conservative (i.e., slightly lower levels of petiole NO 3 should not reduce yields). In contrast, studies in the southeastern United States reported lower critical petiole NO 3 concentrations at first bloom of 6 and 8 g NO 3 –N kg −1 for Florida and Arkansas, respectively (Lutrick et al., 1986; Sabbe & Zelinski, 1990). However, it should be noted that the Florida and Arkansas studies were rainfed and not irrigated.…”

“…Furthermore, petiole NO 3 levels decline during the season at a faster rate than leaf N (Bronson et al., 2001: Muharam et al., 2014). Sabbe and Zelinski (1990) stated that the longer season and more consistent weather of the arid western United States make petiole NO 3 analysis more consistent and therefore more useful than the mid‐south or southeastern United States. The high cotton lint yields associated with the use of long‐season cultivars in the low desert of Arizona mean that petiole NO 3 guidelines from other cotton‐growing regions would not be applicable.…”

“…In-season petiole NO 3 sampling is valuable to adjust a soil test-based recommendation and to fine-tune timings of N applications. Petiole NO 3 sampling for irrigated cotton in the western states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas remains a common, widespread practice for managing in-season N fertilizer between first square and peak bloom (Bronson, Onken, Keeling, Booker, & Torbert, 2001;Sabbe & Zelinski, 1990;. recommended sampling 20-30 petioles of the uppermost fully expanded leaf every 1-2 wk starting at first bloom.…”

Petiole nitrate-nitrogen (NO 3 -N) sampling and testing remains a popular in-season nitrogen (N) management practice in the western United States for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). However, the present guidelines used by Arizona are greater than 35 yr old and are in need of updating. The objectives of this study were to relate in-season petiole NO 3 levels with lint yields and N deficiencies and to revise the former critical deficiency level guidelines by growth stage. Petioles were sampled between first square and peak bloom in nine site-years of cotton N management field trials in Maricopa and Safford, AZ, from 2014 to 2018. Irrigation type in Maricopa was overhead sprinkler irrigation (OSI) (2014)(2015) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) (2016)(2017)(2018). In Safford (2014-2017), surface irrigation (SI) was used. Petiole NO 3 in SDI was dramatically lower than with SI or OSI, mostly in the deficient range. Lower lint yields in zero-N treatments compared with pre-plant soil NO 3 test-based reference treatments occurred in eight site-years (Safford 2016 crop lost to late hailstorm) and were considered N deficient. Critical petiole NO 3 -N levels from 1984 were revised downward 1 g N kg −1 because several N-fertilized treatment means of petiole NO 3 were in that range and did not exhibit an N rate-related yield depression. Sampling cotton plants for petiole NO 3 analysis should start within 1 wk of first bloom. Petiole NO 3 dynamics and critical levels in SDI cotton required further study.

“…The flowering and maturation stages are the most demanding stages in nutrient uptake (Oosterhuis, 2001). Apart from cultivar, tillage system, and irrigation regime, soil fertility influences fertilization management (Francisco and Hoogerheide, 2013;Marimuthu et al, 2014;Kulvir et al, 2015;Manjula and Chandrashekar, 2017), hence a soil analysis prior to seedbed preparation is recommended (Joham, 1951;Sabbe and Zelinski, 1990). Overall, the total N, P, K requirements of cotton range from 142-201 kg N ha -1 , 19-66 kg P ha -1 , and 89-254 kg K ha -1 , respectively (Bassett et al, 1970;Halevy, 1976;Mullins and Burmester, 1990;Unruh and Silvertooth, 1996;Kadlag et al, 2016).…”

Through the last century, the increased greenhouse gases emissions altered the atmosphere’s composition and resulted to the phenomenon known as climate change. Climate change threatens the sustainability of the agricultural sector in the Mediterranean region. Droughts and extreme heat waves will probably become more frequent in the next few decades, thus maintaining sufficient yields in heat and drought susceptible major crops will be challenging. In Greece, cotton is of paramount economic importance. Besides the fact that it is regarded as the most significant fiber crop, Greece is the main cotton producer of the European Union. The aim of the present review was to examine the environmental factors that might affect cotton production in Greece and assess whether (or not) climate change has the potential to limit the productivity of this crop in the near future. According to the existing literature, cotton can adapt to the changing climate. Climate change-induced elevated CO2 levels and temperatures might even benefit cotton. The mitigation of the adverse effects of climate change is possible via the adaptation of site-specific agronomic practices. A simplistic framework, based on the literature and the goals of the European Union, that aims to the preservation of sufficient cotton yields in Greece is proposed in the present study.

Efficient crop use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is critical from economic and environmental viewpoints, especially under irrigated conditions. Cotton yield parameters, fiber quality, water-and N-use efficiency responses to N, and irrigation methods in northern Syria were evaluated. Field trials were conducted for two growing seasons on a Chromoxerertic Rhodoxeralf. Treatments consisted of drip fertigation, furrow irrigation, and five different rates of N fertilizer (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 kg N /ha). Cotton was irrigated when soil moisture in the specified active root depth was 80% of the field capacity as indicated by the neutron probe.Seed cotton yield was higher than the national average (3,928 kg/ha) by at least 12% as compared to all treatments. Lint properties were not negatively affected by the irrigation method or N rates. Water savings under drip fertigation ranged between 25 and 50% of irrigation water relative to furrow irrigation. Crop water-use efficiencies of the drip-fertigated treatments were in most cases 100% higher than those of the corresponding furrow-irrigated treatments. The highest water demand was during the fruit-setting growth stage. It was also concluded that under drip fertigation, 100-150 N kg/ha was adequate and comparable with the highest N rates tested under furrow irrigation regarding lint yield, N uptake, and recovery. Based on cotton seed yield and weight of stems, the overall amount of N removed from the field for the drip-fertigated treatments ranged between 101 and 118kg and 116 and 188 N/ha for 2001 and 2002, respectively. The N removal ranged between 94 and 113 and 111 and 144 kg N/ha for the furrow-irrigated treatments for 2001 and 2002, respectively.
