Owing to changing climatic conditions, drought stress has emerged as a global issue
significantly affecting the production of cotton. Enhancing water use efficiency and …

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of abiotic stresses, especially
drought has become the major threat to cotton production worldwide due to long and intense …

Irrigated agriculture in the Texas High Plains (THP) region faces severe challenges due to
rapidly declining groundwater levels in the underlying Ogallala Aquifer, recurring droughts …

Highlights Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) has continued to expand in irrigation area within
the US during the last 15 years. Research with SDI continues for multiple crop types (fiber …

Water deficit at certain cotton growth stages can cause severe damage to crop development,
affecting physiological processes and reducing reproductive structures, with consequent …

The potential mechanisms by which drought restricts cotton fiber cell wall synthesis and fiber
strength are still not fully understood. Herein, drought experiments were conducted using …

Declining water levels in the southern Ogallala Aquifer and associated reduction in irrigation
capacities and increasing pum** costs necessitate adoption of deficit/limited irrigation …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) production around the world often occurs in water limiting
environments. Although Upland (G. hirsutum) and Pima (G. barbadense) cottons have been …

Core Ideas Timing of water deficit stress affects boll production. Stress timing influences fiber
quality. Multiple timings of water deficit stress interact. Decreased aquifer water in the Texas …

Identification of efficient crop-growth-stage-based deficit irrigation strategies for cotton
