Abstract:

To explicit the effects of no film mulching on the cotton emergence, growth index and yield in desert oasis zone in southern Xinjiang, split block design was used with the cultivation methods of film mulching and no film mulching assigned as the main plots, and the cotton varieties of ‘CCRI619’, ‘XZ48’ and ‘CCR174’ assigned as the sub plots. We studied the emergency, plant traits, growth index and yield of cotton by the methods of field experiment and laboratory analysis. The results showed that: (1) under no film mulching, the seed germination, the top soil breaking capacity, the emergency rate decreased, and the uniformity of seedling was bad; (2) compared with the film mulching, the no film mulching significantly reduced the economic output of cotton groups, extremely and significantly reduced the population biomass, and had a little effect on the plant traits and dry matter partition of cotton; (3) there was no significant difference of seed cotton yield per plant between the film mulching and no film mulching, whereas, under no film mulching, significant differences of seed cotton per plant and the economic yield of population were found among the three varieties, showing the yield of ‘CCRI619’ significantly higher than that of the other two. The ‘CCRI619’ is suitable for no film mulching cultivation of cotton in southern Xinjiang.
