Germination and transpiration intensity of cotton varieties
Abstract
The article presents the results of the influence of Boron, Zinc, and Uzkhitan on the laboratory and field germination of cotton varieties grown in the sierozem soils of the Zarafshan Valley (Uzbekistan). The results of the transpiration process from the water exchange properties of cotton are also presented. The optimal level of application of microelements positively influenced the laboratory and field germination of cotton varieties. The study proposes a methodology for identifying the best cotton varieties for specific regions, which leads to increased productivity and cost savings. The primary factors influencing seed germination speed and the subsequent development of cotton plants under various environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and soil type were analyzed. These results can contribute to improving the productivity, sustainability, and resilience of cotton cultivation in diverse agricultural settings. The study also proposes areas for future research in optimizing water management and refining agro-techniques for more efficient cotton production.
