Abstract

Cotton production distribution within the plant, seed quality and fruit weight were studied in relation to fruiting position. Data were produced by mapping 360 cotton plants cultivar CNPA 7H which were grown under irrigation in Bom Sucesso, PB. According to the results more than 80% of the total plant yield comes from the botton and middle of the plant and from the first and second fruiting position. Seed quality was affected as the boll position distanced from the first position.
