Nutritional management during the ball formation in cotton crop

Nutritional management during the ball formation in cotton crop
  • In cotton, the initial stage of ball formation occurs at the age of 40-45 days. The cotton crop requires more nutrients at this stage. For this, the following nutrients can be used, so that the formation and production of balls in the cotton crop are good and the farmer gets the benefit.

  • At this stage, it is beneficial to use the following products for fertilizer management.

  • Add urea @ 30 kg + MOP @ 30 kg + magnesium sulphate @ 10 kg/acre in the soil.

  • Urea:- In the cotton crop, urea is the biggest source of nitrogen supply. With its use, there is no problem like yellowing and drying of leaves, urea accelerates the process of photosynthesis.

  • MOP (Potash):- Potash plays an important role in transporting the sugar synthesized in the cotton plant to all parts of the plant. Potash promotes the efficiency of natural nitrogen. Increases immunity in plants.

  • Magnesium Sulphate:- In cotton crops, the use of Magnesium Sulphate increases greenery in the cotton crop and accelerates the process of photosynthesis, ultimately leading to higher yield and quality of production.

  • By doing nutrition management in this way, the supply of nitrogen in the cotton crop is very good. Potash increases the number and size of balls. Magnesium Sulphate supplies micronutrients. A healthy ball is formed and cotton production is also very high.
