Assessing Drought Tolerance in a Large Number of Upland Cotton Plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under Different Irrigation Regimes at the Seedling Stage.

ABSTRACT: The cotton plant is important since it provides raw materials for various industry branches. Even though cotton is generally drought-tolerant, it is affected negatively by long-term drought stress. The trial was conducted according to the applied experimental design as a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications to determine a panel of 93 cotton genotypes' genotypic responses against drought under controlled conditions in 2022. All genotypes were watered with 80 mL^-1 of water (100% irrigation, field capacity) until three true leaves appeared, and then water stress was applied at a limited irrigation of 75% (60 mL^-1), 50% (40 mL^-1), and 25% (20 mL^-1) of the field capacity. After the trial terminated at 52 days, the cv. G56, G44, G
