Abstract

Among different nutrient combinations, 100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha−1 (50%) + VC 0.5 t ha−1 (50%) + NAA (10 ppm) + 2% DAP spray registered significantly higher seed cotton yield, Ginning percentage, lint index, seed index and mean fiber length. Foliar nutrition of NPK (1%) at flower initiation and peak flowering stage recorded significantly higher seed cotton yield, Ginning percentage, lint index, seed index and mean fiber length.
