In a field experiment conducted on a Typic Chromustert at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, the yield of cotton was significantly influenced by the different levels and combined application of sulphur, iron and zinc. The treatment that received combined application of sulphur, iron and zinc each at 50 kg per ha recorded the highest seed cotton yield (25.12 q/ha), higher ginning percentage (43.00%) and seed index (9.81 g).

In a field experiment conducted on a Typic Chromustert at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, the yield of cotton was significantly influenced by the different levels and combined application of sulphur, iron and zinc. The treatment that received combined application of sulphur, iron and zinc each at 50 kg per ha recorded the highest seed cotton yield (25.12 q/ha), higher ginning percentage (43.00%) and seed index (9.81 g).
