Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Cotton, the major fibre crop of India grown mainly under the rainfed condition often faces multi-nutritional deficiencies. This experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2016-17 on to find out the best performing nutrient combination for rainfed cotton in which sulphur, zinc and FYM based nutrient management regime, as well as customized fertilizer, were evaluated. The result indicated that gradually adding sulphur and zinc along with compulsory nitrogen, phosphorus and potassic fertilizer improves yield and quality attributes, however, significantly higher yield attributes, yield and quality has been observed when farmyard manure at a rate of five tonnes per hectare has been used along with standard recommended dose of fertilizers.
