Abstract

This study was conducted during the 2022 cotton growing season in the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture at Harran University, using the randomized split-plot design with Fiona and May-455 cotton varieties. Irrigation methods were determined as furrow irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and drip irrigation. In the study, fat content (%) was determined from saturated and unsaturated fatty acids such as myristic acid (c14:0), palmitic acid (c16:0), stearic acid (c18:0), oleic acid (c18:1), linoleic acid (c18:2) and nervonic acid (c24:1) ratios were determined as (%). As a result of the study, it was observed that furrow irrigation increased the oil content compared to drip and sprinkler irrigation. Among the varieties, May-455 was found to have a higher oil content compared to the Fiona variety. Palmitic acid (c16:0) has a significant effect in terms of irrigation methods and cotton varieties, and oil ratio (%) has a significant effect only in terms of cotton varieties. However, there was no significant effect on myristic acid (c14:0), stearic acid (c18:0), cis-oleic acid (c18:1n9c), cis-linoleic acid (c18:2n6c), and nervonic acid (c24:1). It is believed that the composition of oil fatty acids in oil crops is influenced not only by ecological and various other factors but also by genotype.
