“…The amount of Mg removed with seed in both years of the current study and in the early 1990s (Mullins & Burmester, 1992) were approximately 30% of the total Mg uptake (Table 4). Similar to Mg, the greatest amounts of S were partitioned in the leaves and seeds of mature plants for both the Mullins and Burmester (1993) report and the findings of the current study. However, there was a distinct difference in S partitioning between the two periods as shown by the 50% increase in S partitioned to the leaves and 50% decrease in S partitioned to stems and burs by the end of the growing season (Table 5).…”

“…The latter studies reported less nutrient accumulation and dry matter production prior to first flower compared to what was originally determined. Because of the changes in crop growth habit and partitioning patterns in the past 30 yr, we hypothesize that dry matter and nutrient partitioning, uptake, and removal have significantly changed from previous reports by Mullins and Burmester (1990, 1993 due in part to physiological changes which increased the yields of modern cotton cultivars. To determine the extent of these changes, the current study had the following objectives: 1.…”

Modern cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars are more productive and have unique growth and fruiting characteristics due to optimization of genetics and management practices in the past 30 yr. The most recent work evaluating nutrient uptake and partitioning by cotton was conducted in the early 1990s, necessitating a re-evaluation of nutrient accumulation and requirements in modern high productivity cultivars. Modern cultivar (FiberMax [FM] 958 and Deltapine [DP] 1646) resource allocation, including dry matter production, yields, and accumulation and partitioning of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S to different organs, was compared with that of a 1990s cultivar (Paymaster [PM] HS26) in 2018 and 2019. The modern cultivars tested in this study partitioned a greater percentage of dry matter, N, P, K, and S into the fruit than the older cultivar, highlighting the importance of partitioning for increased production potential of these cultivars from the 1990s to the 2010s. Greater efficiencies in partitioning and remobilization of N, P, K, and S resulted in 66, 88, 64, and 30% increase in the amount of lint yield produced for every unit of uptake, respectively, under favorable growing conditions. These findings suggest that existing fertility paradigm in cotton may underestimate the accumulation expectations during the middle and latter part of the growing season. These results can be a basis for optimizing nutrient application to address partitioning changes. Adjusting nutrient recommendations to the shift in cultivar growth characteristics may improve both yield and application efficiency of fertilizers. 1 INTRODUCTION Nutrient uptake and partitioning among plant tissues of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) grown under both dryland and irrigated conditions have been documented in

“…Sulfur requirements for cotton range from 20 kg S ha -1 (18 lb ac -1 ) in Alabama (Mullins and Burmester 1993) to 41 kg S ha -1 (37 lb ac -1 ) in Australia (Rochester 2007). However, most S fertility research on cotton in the United States has been conducted on coastal plain soils of the southeastern United States (Harris et al 1945;Mascagni et al 1992;Mullins 1998).…”

Sulfate (SO 4 ) is one of the most important anions in soils and groundwater in semiarid regions, including west Texas. Crops' sulfur (S) requirement is about 10% to 20% of the nitrogen requirements. However, there is far less information on soil test SO 4 -S (S in the SO 4 form [sulfate-S]) for the western United States, compared to the humid eastern United States. The deposition of S from the atmosphere has declined nationwide, as coal-fired power plants have been scrubbing their emissions of S. This, combined with greater cotton yields and the lack of S fertilization on the Texas Southern High Plains (SHP) point to the need for a soil profile SO 4 -S assessment. The first objective of this study was to assess residual soil profile SO 4 -S content in irrigated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fields across a range of soil types and counties of the Texas SHP. The second objective was to compile regional SO 4 -S concentration data from the Texas Water Development Board irrigation well water quality database and analyze Ogallala groundwater SO 4 -S levels by county, soil map unit, and well depth. Soil profile (0 to 0.9 m [0 to 36 in]) SO 4 -S content ranged from 120 to 475 kg ha -1 (107 to 424 lb ac -1 ) among seven center-pivot fields sampled. About half of this S was in the 0.6 to 0.9 m (24 to 36 in) soil layer, which typically was sandy clay loam or clay loam in texture. Well water SO 4 -S concentration ranged from 9 to 220 mg L -1 (ppm) in clayey soils with deep groundwater to sandy soils with shallow groundwater, respectively. Groundwater SO 4 -S concentration was greater than the USEPA drinking water standard of 83 mg L -1 in 32% of the wells, especially in the southeastern corner of the study area. There was no consistent relationship between soil map unit and SO 4 -S content in the soil profile (0 to 0.9 m). A significant negative relationship between well depth and well water SO 4 -S concentration was observed in all the eleven-county study area of the SHP of West Texas. In conclusion, soil profile SO 4 content to 0.9 m is high in SHP irrigated cotton fields and in most cases should be adequate for crop S nutritional requirements.

“…As a result, the majority of the nutrient management research in cotton cropping areas has focused mainly on these primary macronutrients (Bassett et al., 1970; Bednarz & Oosterhuis, 1999; Gerik et al., 1998; Halevy et al., 1987; Mullins & Burmester, 1990; Pabuayon et al., 2020). There are also a few other studies that have focused on cotton nutritional requirements of the secondary macronutrients (magnesium, Mg; sulfur, S; and calcium, Ca) which are required in lesser quantities than N, P, and K (Joham, 1955; Leffler & Tubertini, 1976; Marcus‐Wyner & Rains, 1982; Mullins & Burmester, 1992, 1993a; Olson & Bledsoe, 1942; Pabuayon et al., 2020).

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) productivity and nutritional status depend on the uptake and allocation of both macro‐ and micronutrients. Micronutrient deficiencies or toxicities reduce yields and must be corrected to achieve optimal yields. There is evidence that macronutrient uptake and partitioning have changed in modern cultivars, and it is therefore important to know whether a similar change has occurred with micronutrient uptake or partitioning. Total uptake and partitioning of essential micronutrients (boron, B; iron, Fe; manganese, Mn; zinc, Zn; and copper, Cu) and of sodium (Na) in different tissues of modern cultivars (FiberMax 958, FM 958; and Deltapine 1646, DP 1646) and a 1990s cultivar (Paymaster HS26, PM HS26) were determined in 2018 and 2019 at New Deal, TX. These were compared to results obtained in studies conducted 30 yr ago. The total seasonal uptake of Cu and Zn increased, whereas the total seasonal uptake of Fe and Mn decreased in modern cultivars. Newer cultivars FM 958 and DP 1646 partitioned greater percentage of Zn and Cu to the developing bolls compared to PM HS26. Iron and Mn were mostly retained in the leaves throughout the crop's life cycle. Sodium accumulated in nonphotosynthetic tissues likely as a salt‐tolerance mechanism of cotton. However, when Na availability is far more than required for normal plant growth, Na is redistributed and accumulated into transpiring leaves. This study offers additional insights for making effective fertilizer management decisions for newer cultivars and possible problems due to excess trace elements in the soil and irrigation supply.
