Abstract
One of the most serious obstacles that severely affected agriculture in Egypt is the shortage in fresh water resources that farmers have to use lower volumes of water than necessary or at least to spacing irrigation intervals which resemble a case of water deficit stress on cotton plants. Moreover, the Nile delta aquifer in Egypt severely subjected to seawater intrusion especially at the coastal governorates which means mixing fresh water with a ratio of seawater especially at sea level rise periods, beside the possibility of using a ratio of saline water with fresh water to overcome the shortage of fresh water resources. These cases resemble salt stress on cotton plants
For these reasons the current study was carried out in order to 1st determine the effect of both water deficit stress and salt stress on cotton plants. 2nd to assay the ability of two neonicotinoids IMI and TMX when used as seed treatment (at their recommended rates) for improving cotton plants performance and characteristics against both of biotic stress(some early cotton insects) and abiotic stress factors (water-deficit and salt stress).
