Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the different dates of initial irrigation and later irrigation frequencies on seedcotton yield of CRIS-134, an advance heat resistant variety. On an average, data revealed that CRIS-134 significantly responded to first irrigation at 45 days after planting (DAP) and yielded highest (2429 kg ha -1). As regards interval between subsequent irrigations, results revealed that averagely CRIS-134 produced significantly highest yield of 2230 kg ha -1 at every two weeks interval.
