Abstract

To test of seed treatment effect with chemical and non-chemical materials on yield and yield component of cotton, an expriement was conducted in randomized compelet block design in four replication at agricultural research station in Qarakheil (Qaemshahr) Mazandaran in 2013 - 2015. Treatments name as : 1- Check (No seed treatment) 2- Mixture of cow dung with clay (%50) 3- Neem oil %1/5 (Azal TS) 4- Gaucho (5-7gr/kg seed) 5- Carboxin tiram (10gr/kg seed) 6- Cow urine . Each treatment was planted in eight rows with 10m length.Plant distance in row was 20cm with intra-row spacing of 80 cm . Plant height, vegetative branches number, Reproductive branches number, percentage of open boll, plant boll number, boll weight, percentage of emergence plants and cotton yield were measured . Result indicated that highest cotton yield was obtained from Gaucho with 1060 kg/ha . Neem with 960/4 kg/ha, cow dung with 944/6kg/ha , cow urine with 916/3 kg/ha had highest yield and had not significant difference with Gaucho . The lowest yield were obtained from check and carboxin tiram with 830/4 and 833/5 kg/ha respectively.The highest percentage of emergence plant was in related to check with %91/08, this treatment had not significant difference with cow urine with %89/25, Neemwith %88/42 and Gaucho with %86/25 emergence plants.
