Abstract
An experiment was conducted to test the effect of different fertilizer levels, population density and topping time on some important fiber and seed properties of the cotton cultivars Co-10, Bayou 70, and Deltapine 16. The study on the effect of the different treatments was done within cultivars.
Variations in fertilizer level, population density and topping time did not affect fiber strength and color of cotton. Application of 75-0-0 kg/ha and 75-25-25 kg/ha. N-P205-K20 slightly increased fiber strength as compared with the control while micronaire value was affected by the interaction of fertilizer, population and topping time.
Seed germination, insect damage and seed deterioration were not affected by either of the treatments while seed slightly increased with increased fertilizer level.
Environmental stressed cause a considerable reduction in seed and fiber quality of the seed cotton and poor storage conditions resulted in the loss of seed viability and vigor.
