A field investigation was conducted at Sakha Agricultural Research Station (31 0 07ˉ N Latitude and 30 0 57ˉ E longitude) with an elevation of about 6 metres above mean sea level, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate during the two successive summer growing seasons 2013 and 2014 to investigate the effect of cultivation methods and irrigation treatments (irrigation scheduling treatments) on seed cotton yield, some yield attributes, seed oil percentage and some water relations in the North Middle Nile Delta region. A split plot design with four replicates was used in this present investigation, where, the main treatments were randomly assigned by cultivation methods (A), where A 1 (cultivation on normal furrows with width, 60 cm., normal cultivation) and A 2 (cultivation on wide furrows with width, 120 cm., and cultivation process performed on two sides (raised-beds), while sub-main treatments were also randomly assigned by irrigation treatments (irrigation scheduling treatments), I 0 (traditional irrigation, like to practise by local farmers in the studied area), I 1 (irrigation with 1.4 Ep), I 2 (irrigation with 1.2 Ep) I 3 (irrigation with 1.0 Ep) and I 4 (irrigation with 0.8 Ep).
The main results can be summarized as follows:-The highest seasonal values for applied water, consumptive use and stored water in the effective root zone were recorded under cultivation method (A 1 ) in comparison with cultivation method (A 2 ) and the overall mean values through the two growing seasons are 3847.05 and 3636.48 m 3 / fed. For seasonal applied water, 2629.18 and 2442.74 m 3 / fed. for consumptive use and 2743.93 and 2612.73 m 3 / fed. for stored water in the effective root zone under cultivation methods (A 1 ) and (A 2 ), respectively. Regarding, the effect of irrigation treatments (irrigation scheduling treatments), the highest mean values for the abovementioned three studied parameters were recorded under irrigation treatment (I 0 ) in the two growing seasons comparing with other irrigation treatments I 1 , I 2 , I 3 and I 4 . The highest overall mean values through the two growing seasons are 4309.37 and 4122.46 m 3 / fed. for seasonal applied water, 2917.74 and 2760.81 m 3 / fed. for consumptive use and 3125.44 and 2900.24 m 3 / fed. for stored water in the effective root zone under cultivation method (A 1 ) and (A 2 ), respectively. Generally, the overall mean values for the abovementioned three studied parameters can be descended in the order according to the effect of irrigation treatments as follows I 0 > I 1 > I 2 > I 3 > I 4 .Concerning the effect of cultivation methods and irrigation treatments on the studied irrigation efficiencies. The highest overall mean values through the two growing seasons were recorded under cultivation method (A 2 ) comparing with cultivation method (A 1 ) and the values are 72.10 and 71.43% for water application efficiency, 0.60 and 0.52 kg/ m 3 for water productivity and 0.41 and 0.35 kg/ m 3 for productivity of irrigation water under cultivation method (A 2 ) and (A 1 ), respectively.
