Two field experiments were carried out during the two successive seasons, 2003 and 2004 at Ras-Sudr Research Station. The aim of the research is to study the effect of two planting methods (direct seeding compared with cutting), three sulfur agriculture rates (without sulfur, one, and two ton/fed.) as a soil conditioner and irrigated from two artesian wells (well No.1 and well No. 2) on yield and its components and fiber properties of cotton variety Giza 83. The salinity of well No.1 were 4147 and 4435 ppm, and well No.2 were 7002 and 7360 ppm in 2003 and 2004 seasons, respectively. Results showed that yield and its components of treatments irrigated from well No.1 were superior to these treatments irrigated from well No.2 in both seasons. Cutting method was better than direct seeding method in all studied characters. Increasing sulfur rate from zero to one and two ton /fed. increased significantly yield and its components in both seasons.
Summary in Arabic.
