The effect of water deficit on cotton physiological processes is complex and poorly understood. Results from previous studies indicate a need to better understand the physiological responses of field-acclimated cotton to drought stress. To this end, cotton was grown in the field during 2012 and 2013 under fully irrigated and dryland conditions in southern Georgia to evaluate the effect of water deficit on a suite of physiological processes.
