A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2007-08 at Extra Assistant Director (EAD) Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments replicated thrice to find out the response of cotton to foliar application of nutrient under rainfed condition. Foliar application of 2 per cent urea and 2 per cent DAP significantly increased seed cotton yield, number of open bolls/plant, boll weight, N, P and K Nutrient content, uptake, fibre quality parameters i.e. ginning percentage, fibre strength and oil per cent.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2007-08 at Extra Assistant Director (EAD) Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments replicated thrice to find out the response of cotton to foliar application of nutrient under rainfed condition. Foliar application of 2 per cent urea and 2 per cent DAP significantly increased seed cotton yield, number of open bolls/plant, boll weight, N, P and K Nutrient content, uptake, fibre quality parameters i.e. ginning percentage, fibre strength and oil per cent.
