This article presents comprehensive data obtained regarding the water metabolism of local and foreign cotton varieties cultivated under conditions of soil salinity. It provides a detailed substantiation of the variations in water metabolism rates across the local Bukhara-8 variety and several foreign varieties, specifically Xinluzao-57, Zhongmian-88, Xinluzao-52, Zhongmian-113, Xinluzao-78, and Zhungtay-2, within both control and experimental variants. The investigation established that the critical physiological parameters defining the water metabolism characteristics of cotton − namely, the water-retaining capacity of the leaves, the intensity of transpiration, and the diurnal leaf water deficit − exhibit a direct and significant dependence on the specific variety, the experimental conditions, and the developmental stages of the cotton plants.
