Abstract

In order to study the effect of Zn EDTA and NAA application on quantitative and fiber quality traits, and physiological indices of three cotton cultivar, an experiment based on split-split plat arrangement in form of RCB design with three replications performed in Varamin region during 2003-2004 years. In this research, the main plot included three cotton cultivars (Varamin, Khorda and Pak), the subplots were sprayed by spraying with pure water (control), Zn EDTA with 1g/L and 2 g/L concentration and NAA with concentration of 30 mg/L as sub-sub plots that sprayed at 4 levels of (control, one time of spraying, two times spraying and three times spraying). The results showed that Zn EDTA spraying with 1g/L concentration along with using NAA, resulted in increasing the number of total bolls per plant, weight of single bolls, total seed cotton yield and fibers length as compared to the control group. The highest seed cotton yield was obtained in Khordad cultivar with Zn EDTA spraying at 1g/L concentration and on time spraying NAA application. The earliness decreased by using of NAA. There were significant differences among cultivars in term of fiber length and micronairy. In total, reaction of different cultivars to different Zn EDTA concentrations and number of NAA spraying were different in most surveyed characteristics.
