Cotton is an important fiber crop of Pakistan and is also the
second most important oilseed crop in the world. The cotton plant
possesses a narrow range of ecological adaptability and is very
much influenced by the climatic conditions. Among many factors
causing low yield, sowing time and plant spacing are more
important. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate
the effect of different sowing times and plant distances on the
growth, seed cotton yield and quality of cotton genotype BH-160
under the agro-ecological conditions of Rahim Yar Khan in irrigated
environment. It may be concluded from this study that the boll
number, boll weight and yield per plant decreased with closer
spacing but seed cotton yield per hectare increased. The 15 cm
plant to plant spacing produced more seed cotton yield due to more
number to of plants per hectare, which compensated the other, yield
components. Plants spacing however did not affect G.O.T%, seed
index and fibre quality and plant height. Sowing date of 15th May
gave maximum seed cotton yield and did not effect on monopodial
branches.
