In order to determine the time and irrigation water quantity by evaporation pan datas , an experiment was conducted in 1380 and 1381 at Hashemabad Cotton Research Station of Gorgan by Silty clay loam soil and Split - Split plot design with three replications . Irrigation time treatments were : irrigation after 80 , 110 and 140 mm cumulative evaporation of pan as main plot , irrigation water quantity on bases of 40 , 70 and 100 % evaporation of pan as sub plot , Sahel and Siokra cultivars as sub-sub plot. The two-year Composite analysis results showed that during these years there were significant difference according to the yield, quality properties and earliness , but there were no significant difference according to water use efficiency and boll weight . Also, there were not significant difference between irrigation time treatments according to the yield , boll weight , earliness , water use efficiency , lint percentage , strength , elongation and micronarry , but on view of fiber length and uniformity there were significant different . The effect of irrigation water quantity were not significant on yield , boll weight and quality properties , but on earliness and water use efficiency was significant . Cotton yield and water use efficiency in siokra cultivar was more to 7.6 and 9.2 % than sahel cultivars respectivelly. There were significant different between two cotton cultivars on view of lint percentage , uniformity and micronarry . Ultimatelly , The best treatment of irrigation management , higher water use efficiency , yield and quantity could be irrigating after 140 mm evaporation from pan with 40 % water requirement and Siokra cultivar .
