N2 - Water shortage is the main limitation for agricultural production in many parts of the world. Drought or unavailability of water may seriously limit plant growth as well as yield. A pot experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of various irrigation strategies, i.e., Full (FI), deficit (DI) and partial root-zone drying (PRD) on physiological, biochemical and yield-related attributes of cotton crop. Irrigation treatments started 60 days after planting and lasted for 60 days. For FI and DI, 100% and 50% of evapotranspiration (ET) was replaced by irrigating the entire pot surface every 4-5 days. For PRD, root system was split into two equal halves and during each irrigation event, only one-half of the root system was irrigated with the same amount of water as applied to DI, and subsequently, irrigation was switched to the second half.PRD irrigation significantly improved WUE, which was 21% and 26% higher than FI and DI, respectively. Higher ABA production under PRD reduced stomatal conductance and net photosynthesis.

Magnitude of osmotic adjustment (i.e. total sugar and proline content) was lowest and highest under FI and PRD, respectively.
