Abstract:

The research was carried out during 2016 and 2018 seasons in the village of Al Mahrousa in Al-Ghab region to study the effect of three compost rates (10-15-20 ton.h-1) on the following production indicators: Boll weight (g), Plant yield (g) , Seed index (g), Harvest index (%) Crop index (%) and ginning out rate (%) for the cotton Gossypium hirsutum L. variety Allepo 1-33 and compare The results with Control plants (without addition). The experiment was performed according to the Completely Randomized Design with three replicates per treatment.
Compost was added with basic tillage. Results were taken and the averages were calculated and statistically analyzed using the GenStat-12 program which showed the following: The increase in the compost rate resulted in a decrease in the boll weight and the ginning out rate, although all the rates exceeded the control. The rate 20 ton.h-1 gave the best results in the characteristics of plant yield (93.39 g and 106.45 g), the seed index (11.80 g and 12.90 g), the harvest index (34.72% and 35.74%) and the crop index (53.21% and 55.64 %). In the first and second seasons respectively. There were no significant differences between the rates 10 and 15 ton.h-1 in the harvest index. There were no significant differences between the three rates and the control plants in the boll weight during the two seasons of the study and in the ginning out rate during the 2016 season.
