Correlations of data provided by AFIS and HVI were performed under a multi-location evaluation of cotton fiber characteristics in the Greek environment. Four main cotton-production Greek regions were selected and the five most cultivated commercial upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars were used for evaluation of fiber length and short fiber characteristics by AFIS and HVI instruments. Each cultivar was sown in 16 fields and 80 fields in total were used for all cultivars. Both HVI and AFIS gave reliable data concerning fiber length and short fiber estimations. High positive and statistically significant correlations between the two instruments were found indicating the similarity of final measurements. Fiber length estimations can be performed with higher accuracy than short fiber estimations, because CV values were lower for both instruments. HVI and AFIS showed different advantages in estimating fiber length and short fiber characteristics. Measurements of AFIS on fiber length had a smaller range between maximum and minimum values, but HVI showed lower CV% which is more useful for breeders, since it may indicate gene fixation that ensures easier breeding procedure. For short fibers, AFIS also showed a smaller range between maximum and minimum values and HVI showed lower CV%. Graphical comparisons between HVI and AFIS measurements for fiber length and short fibers showed that HVI had a more pattern with lower fluctuations than AFIS.

Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a qualidade da fibra do algodoeiro BRS verde, usando níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação. O experimento foi realizado em condições de campo na Fazenda Experimental Rafael Fernandes, de propriedade da Universidade Federal Rural do Semiárido­–UFERSA no período 21/10/11 até 06/02/12. O delineamento experimental adotado foi em blocos casualizados com seis tratamentos e cinco repetições, totalizando 30 parcelas experimentais. Os tratamentos resultaram das combinações de três tipos de condutividade elétrica da água de irrigação (S1- 0,55; S2-2,16 e S3-3,53 dS m-1) de acordo com as fases de desenvolvimento da cultura (T1- S1S1S1; T2- S2S2S2; T3- S3S3S3; T4- S1S2S2; T5- S1S2S3 e T6- S1S3S3), sendo a primeira fase do semeio até 30 dias; a segunda fase inicia-se dos 31 aos 90 dias; e a terceira fase dos 91 a colheita. As variáveis analisadas foram: porcentagem de fibra, comprimento da fibra, uniformidade do comprimento, maturidade, resistência, índice micronaire, índice de fibras curtas, elongação de ruptura e índice de fiabilidade. No geral, não houve efeito da salinidade da água de irrigação sobre a qualidade de fibra do algodão BRS verde, exceto para a característica elongamento da ruptura (ELG). Deste modo, torna-se viável o uso de água com salinidade de (3,5 dS m-1) em todo o ciclo da cultura considerando as condições de realização do estudo. Palavras-chave: Gossypium hirsutum L..

In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the cotton fiber BRS green, using salinity levels of irrigation water. The experiment was conducted under field condition sat the Experimental Farm Rafael Fernandes, owned by Federal Rural University of the semiarid – UFERSA the period 21/10/11 to 06/02/12. The treatments consisted of combinations of three types of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (S1- 0,55; S2-2,16 and S3-3,53 dS m-1) according to the development stages of culture T1- S1S1S1; T2- S2S2S2; T3- S3S3S3; T4- S1S2S2; T5- S1S2S3; T6- S1S3S3, the first phase being 30 days from the sowing; the second stage starts from 31 to 90 days; and the third phase of the 91 harvest. The variables analyzed were: fiber percentage, fiber length, length uniformity, maturity, strength, micronaire, short fiber index, elongation at break and reliability index. Overall, there was no effect of irrigation water salinity on the fiber quality of cotton BRS green, except for the elongation characteristic of rupture (ELG). Thus, it becomes feasible to use water with salinity (3,5 dS m-1) throughout the crop cycle considering the conditions of the study. Keywords: Gossypium hirsutum L..

Farmers in the Chattogram Hill Tracts, Bangladesh have been growing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in their traditional system of jhum cultivation which is undergoing transformation. Growing rainfed cotton as a monocrop in the uplands is constrained by farmers’ socio-economic conditions and erratic rainfall. Shifting growing season to post-monsoon dry monthscould be an option to sustain cotton production in hilly areas. An exploratory experiment was conducted for two seasons to explore the possibility of growing cotton in valley lands in Bandarban during dry season. Growth and yield potentials of dry season cotton were evaluated in relation to prevailing environmental conditions. Night temperature dropped to 9oC on several occasions in 2018-2019 season; but it remained higher than 11oC throughout the season in 2019-2020. In 2018-2019, day temperatures surged higher past March 15 occasionally exceeding 38oC. Variability in temperatures was more in 2018-19 while average temperatures were higher in 2019-20 season. Rainfall distribution was almost similar in both the growing seasons receiving total rainfall of 757 mm and 579 mm in two seasons, respectively. Higher seed cotton yield (2,047 kg per ha) was recorded for 15 November planted crop compared with 1 December planted crop (1,186 kg per ha). December 1 planted crop was affected more by low temperatures at seedling stage resulting in poor growth and fewer bolls per plant. Late planted crop was more vulnerable to rain damage at boll opening stage. Crops of both the seasons encountered high temperatures (>32oC) during boll development. Changing climate, shorter winter season and rising temperatures may allow cotton production in valley lands shifting growing season from rainy season to post-monsoon dry months. However, the window of dry season cotton growing in Bandarban, Bangladesh seems narrow. Rainfall pattern restricts planting seeds prior to mid-November. Again, high temperatures stress in March and April synchronizing boll development, and rainfall toward late April and May during boll opening may cause yield loss. Development and adoption of short duration, low temperature tolerant upland cotton varieties might be of advantage for adapting to climate change vulnerabilities. Ann. Bangladesh Agric.
