In this video clip, Dr. Jahnzaib Farooq, Senior Scientist, Cotton Research Station, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute Faisalabad having sixteen years experience in the field Cotton Research delighted to share insights into the development and benefits of the early sown glyphosate-free cotton variety, which thrives in low-temperature weather conditions and exhibits minimal susceptibility to pest attacks.
In early sown cotton cultivation, optimizing nutrient management is crucial for achieving the best yield. Here's a recommended nutrient management plan based on your inputs:
At Sowing:
Apply 1.5-2 bags of DAP (Diammonium phosphate) per acre. DAP provides readily available phosphorus, essential for early root development and overall plant vigor.
40 Days After Sowing (DAS):
Apply SOP (Sulphate of potash) at 40 days after sowing. SOP supplies potassium, which is vital for flower and boll development, as well as overall plant health.
50 Days After Sowing (DAS):
Apply Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) and ammonium sulphate at 50 DAS. CAN provides a balanced supply of nitrogen and calcium, supporting vegetative growth and enhancing cell wall strength. Ammonium sulphate supplies additional nitrogen, promoting healthy foliage and stem development.
Additional Nutrients for Best Yield:
Potash: Apply potash fertilizer during early sown cotton cultivation to supplement potassium levels in the soil, which is crucial for boll formation and fiber development.
Zinc: Apply zinc fertilizer as a foliar spray or soil application to prevent zinc deficiency, which can hinder plant growth and reduce yield potential.
Boron: Apply boron fertilizer to address boron deficiency, which is essential for flowering, pollination, and fruit development in cotton plants.
By following this comprehensive nutrient management plan, early sown cotton farmers can optimize nutrient availability, promote healthy plant growth, and maximize yield potential. It's essential to monitor soil nutrient levels regularly and adjust fertilizer application rates based on soil test results and crop requirements to ensure sustainable and profitable cotton production.
In conclusion, our early sown glyphosate-free cotton variety represents a significant advancement in cotton breeding, offering farmers a sustainable and resilient option for cultivation in low-temperature environments with minimal pest pressure. By harnessing the power of genetics and innovation, we are shaping the future of cotton agriculture towards greater sustainability and productivity.
