This study was conducted to determine some cultivation and care treatments applied in cotton production under irrigation conditions in the Harran Plain.The methods, machines and implements used for cultivation and care were studied according to the local conditions in the five farms. Some cultivation and care treatments applied in the farms for cotton productions were investigated in relation to amount of weed, soil particle sizes, yield of cotton. In addition the working periods and working effeciency, labor requirements and costs of cultivation tools and machines used were determined. The hoeing from the cultivation treatments had an effect on the soil particle size and the amount of weed. On the other hand, there was significant difference among working periods obtanied in the farms in terms of chemical weed control and harvest, however, was not significant difference among working periods obtanied in the farms in terms of singling. As a result, the third farm applied hoeing with tractor had the lowest cost value in relation to hoeing from cultivation and care treatments among the farms.
