Abstract

Both 150 per cent RDF and 125 per cent RDF were significantly superior over 100 per cent RDF.Among nutrient management practices soil application of MgSO4 + three foliar sprays of MgSO4 (1%) + KNO3 (2%) recorded maximum seed cotton yield as compared to control. However, the combination resulted in at par seed cotton yield with soil application of MgSO4, with three foliar sprays of MgSO4 (1%) + 19:19:19(1%) and soil application of MgSO4 + three sprays of MgSO4 treatments.
