Carbon dioxide enrichment: Data on the response of cotton to varying CO{sub 2}, irrigation, and nitrogen
- Water Conservation Lab., Phoenix, AZ (United States); and others
This NDP presents data on the effects of continuous CO{sub 2} enrichment of cotton during five consecutive growing seasons, 1983 to 1987, under both optimal and limiting levels of water and nitrogen. Unlike many prior CO{sub 2}-enrichment experiments in growth chambers or greenhouses, these studies were conducted on field-planted cotton at close to natural conditions with open-top chambers. Measurements were made on a variety of crop-response variables during the growing season and upon crop harvest. The initial experiment examined the effects of varying CO{sub 2} concentration only. During the following two seasons, the interactive effects of CO{sub 2} concentration and water availability were studied. During the following two seasons, the interactive effects of CO{sub 2} concentration and water availability were studied. During the final two seasons, the interactions among CO{sub 2} concentration, water availability, and nitrogen fertility were investigated.
