•GPP and ET was highest from the first week of flowering to after cutout.•Average crop ET was 3.5 mm d−1 and peak water use was 7.6 mm d−1.•WUE at 0.3 kg lint cotton m−3 water was 1.5–2 times that of more arid regions. An eddy covariance (EC) system was used over a production-scale, US mid-south cot...
