Summary

Results from five years trials showed that irrigation was frequently needed to ensure early and adequate germination of cotton, that the use of a water balance to determine time and amount of irrigation was practical and economic, that there was no appreciable effect of fertilizer on yield of seed cotton on these soils, and that there was no significant change in the fertility of the soil after four crops of cotton.
