- Intervention effect Delaying first irrigation nonsignificantly decreased monopodia per plant and internode length.
- Intervention effect Delaying first irrigation significantly delayed maturity.
- Intervention effect Delaying first irrigation delayed first sympodium formation, first flower appearance and first boll cracking.
- Intervention effect Delaying first irrigation reduced earliness percentage, open boll count and boll weight.
- Intervention effect Delaying first irrigation reduced lint percentage, seed index and seed cotton yield.
- Intervention effect First irrigation at four weeks after sowing gave the best result and heaviest bolls.
