Management of Leaf Reddening in Cotton:-
- Adjustment of sowing time for enabling the crop to skip over the adverse environmental condition during boll development stage.
- One or two sprays of urea (1 %) at appropriate times.
- Application of magnesium sulphate (0.5%).
- Adequate drainage to avoid waterlogging of the fields.
- Leaf reddening incidence due to sucking pests may be overcome by spraying recommended insecticides.
- Boll load management.
- Supply of adequate nutrients during flowering and boll development particularly in hybrids.
- Timely inter-culture and weeding operations and other agronomic practices.
- Avoidance of susceptible cultivars.
- Adequate irrigation if available.
- Adoption of crop rotation and growing of intercrop to maintain the soil health and nutritional status.
