Summary

Cotton plants grown under water stress conditions showed significant decreases in yield, though only slight decreases in protein N as well as in chlorophyll content were detected. Chlormequat (CCC) application minimized the decreases in yield and caused significant increases in both protein N and chlorophyll contents. It is concluded that changes induced by CCC in cotton yield are independent from those occurred in chlorophyll and protein N contents.
