  The objective of this paper is to find a simple and efficient drip irrigation schedule for cotton under film mulching using a homemade evaporation pan with a diameter of 60 cm. A field experiment was conducted to study the responses of cotton growth, seed cotton yield, water consumption and water use efficiency to drip irrigation amounts of 0.5 Ep (pan evaporation), 0.7 Ep and 1.0 Ep at the Irrigation Experiment Station of the Water-conservancy Bureau in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Urumqi, Xinjiang province during the cotton growing seasons of 2007 and 2009. The feasibility of the drip irrigation scheme based on surface water evaporation by using a homemade evaporation pan was analyzed. The results showed that continuous water deficit at the bud and boll stages (irrigation quota equal to 0.5 Ep) produced negative effects on cotton growth, seed cotton yield and the wa.. Read More»
