Abstract :The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sowing dates of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield and yield componentsat Adana premises. The experiment was conducted on the experimental area of Agricultural Faculty of Çukurova University at Cotton survey and applıcation Seed of cotton cultivars were sown according the sowing dates with split plot experimental design with the three replications. Sowing dates (5 May, 5 June) were kept in main plot and varieties in sub plot by using plot size 3 m x 10 m and row spacing and interrow spacing were 70X 20 cm. Ten cotton varieties (BA-440, DP-499, CANDİA, SG-125, BA-119, NİHAL, ADN-123, ADN-710, ADN-712 and ADN-811) were used as plant material. As a result of the research; It was determined that the density of the cotton was changed between 217 kg /da and 214 kg / da (NİHAL-BA-119). Also when the varieties are examined according to planting times; NİHAL (109.01cm) in terms of plant height, SG-125and DP-499 in terms of number of cocoons, SG-125and NİHALcocurated cotton weight in fruit number, NİHAL in the number of the first fruit dill number, AND-710 in the plant number, shave degree, BA-119 was found to be promising in terms of fiber strength. NİHAL, SG-125 and ADN-710 varieties can be preferred in the result of 10 different varieties in Çukurova conditions at different sowing times respectively.Keywords : Adana, Pamuk, Ekim zamanı, Verim, Kalite
