Özet
Cotton is the world's most important fiber crop and the second most important oil seed crop. Fruiting of cotton plant is determined and influenced by cultivars, climatic conditions, management practices and pests. Climatic factors such as temperature, wind, rainfall and relative humidity significantly affect the boll production of cotton. High temperature, especially more than 30 degrees C, reduces the boll retention and thus final yield. Strong winds may also reduce the yield due to boll shedding. Likewise continuous rain during flowering and boll opening will impair the pollination and may thus reduce fiber quality. However, increasing amount of rainfall in early growing period of cotton can result in higher yield. In addition, the water requirement of cotton depends on climate and length of the total growing period. In this paper, effects of climatic factors on cotton yield in semi-arid regions are evaluated and discussed based. on carried out some currently studies.
