... The effect of treatments on growth, physiological, yield, and fiber quality characteristics of both cotton cultivars were determined by ANOVA on Statistics 8.1 software (IBM, USA). Treatment effectiveness was determined by means, and the differences were measured by the least significant difference test at a 5% probability level (Steel et al. 1997). ...
