Abstract: 【Objective】Plastic mulching after seeding followed by artificial freeing of seedlings from mulching at full emergence (seeding before mulching, SBM) is widely adopted in the Yellow River valley, but it is labor-intensive and costly. Plastic mulching in advance and seeding on plastic film (seeding after mulching, SAM) can remove the process of seedling freeing and has been widely applied in the drought northwest inland, but it is still unclear if it can be applied in the Yellow River valley and whether the cotton emergence rate and stand establishment will be reduced in case of rain. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of rainfall at emergence on stand establishment and yield of cotton in relation to different seeding patterns, most importantly, is to determine an easy and light planting pattern with good stand establishment and less labor consumption. 【Method】A two-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of rainfall and seeding patterns on stand establishment, leaf area index, yield and yield components. A split-plot design with three replicates was used for the study. The main plots comprised two simulated rainfalls (0 mm and 10 mm), while seeding patterns including seeding without mulching (SWM), SBM, SAM and seeding under double mulching (SDM) constituted the subplots.【Result】Significant interaction was detected between rainfall and seeding pattern on emergence rate, dry matter accumulation, leaf area index, boll density and cotton yield. Without rainfall, emergence rate, dry matter, leaf area index, boll density and yield of SAM and SDM were similar to those of SBM, but those of SWM were reduced by 13.6%, 19.0%, 13.3%, 24.7% and 27.7% relative to SBM, respectively; Under 10 mm rainfall, these parameters were decreased by 32.2%, 43.1%, 26.3%, 25.8% and 29.2% for SAM, respectively, 42.8%, 55.8%, 47.2%, 35.0% and 40.1% for SWM, respectively, relative to SBM, but all the parameters of SDM were similar to those of SBM.【Conclusion】SAM reduced stand establishment and cotton yield relative to SBM under 10 mm rainfall, but SDW exhibited comparable stand establishment and yield to SBM regardless of rainfall. Therefore, choosing a suitable seeding pattern is an important way to guarantee full stand establishment and high yield in terms of local ecological conditions, especially the rainfall probability.
