The Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation issued a bulletin with the most important technical recommendations that cotton growers should observe during the month of August:
The recommendations were as follows:
• Irrigation provisions during this period.
• In lands adjacent to rice fields with high ground water level or poor drainage, it is preferable to increase the period between the last three irrigations as needed.
• Do not resort to drowning in order to help tie plants.
• It is taken into account that the last watering (weaning) is when 80% of the almonds are ripe on the plant or natural lightening by 15-20%.
