- Abstract
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) was raised at different salinity levels (0, 0. 15% and 0.30%) by irrigating with fresh or sea-water. The effects of fertilization (N, NK, NP and NPK) on plant growth, nitrogen (N) uptake and N use efficiency were studied. The results showed that salinity and fertilization both affected the biomass, agronomic N use efficiency, N bioavailability and nitrogen accumulation of plants, and significant interaction was observed between the two factors. Fertilization could improve N use efficiency and nitrogen accumulation of plants under salinity stress, and significantly promoted the cotton yield. Among the fertilization treatments, N combined with P and K had the best effect. The benefit of fertilization was better under low salinity (0. 15%) than under moderate salinity (0. 3%).
