Abstract Two field experiments were carried out at Nubaria Agricultural Research Station, representing the newly reclaimed desert land of North West, Egypt in Nubaria, which located at 47 Km South West of Alexandria city in the two summer growing seasons of 2017 and 2018. The present investigation was carried out on a highly calcareous sandy loam soil to study the effect of irrigation regimes and NPK fertilization on plant growth attributes, earliness parameters, seed cotton yield, its components and fiber properties of Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) Giza 94 cotton cultivar was used which represent long staple Egyptian cotton category. Egyptian clover Barseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) was the preceding crop in the two seasons, which was removed after two cuttings before bloughing. Barseem is a favorite crop before summer sowings especially, in newly reclaimed or calcareous soils. The experimental design was a split-split plot with four replications, where the Irrigation regimes treatments were allocated to the main plots, the sub-main plots included |
