branch-bearing period was the most effective period in<br />

completing yield and yield components. Therefore,<br />

supplying the needs of a plant during this period played<br />

an essential role in improving the yield of the plant and<br />

the duration of this period was recommended as a good<br />

criterion for selecting genotypes with higher potential<br />

yields.<br />

Amoghein et al. 2497<br />

The results of the analysis of variance (Table 2) revealed<br />

that the planting system (irrigated and rainfed) showed<br />

statistically significant differences in the number of days<br />

to 50% boll-bearing or bud-bearing at 5% probability<br />

level, while means comparison (Table 3) indicated that<br />
