Effect of Different NP Fertilizer Levels on the Yield of Cotton Cultivars

Z.A. Abbasi and M.B. Abro

ABSTRACT

The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with 03 replications. Treatments comprised of 03 cotton cultivars (TH- 41/83, 35/83 and Rehmani) and 10 fertilizer levels. It has been observed that cotton cultivar TH- 35/83 gave highest seed cotton yield per plant i.e., 95.13 g, fallowed by TH - 41/83 i.e., 84. 19 g plant-1. While the maximum yield per plant was recorded under fertilizer level 200 -50 kg ha-1 (100.52). Cultivar TH – 41/83 gave highest yield per plot 4.89 kg and 3773.12 kg ha-1. Cultivar Rehmani gave lowest yield i.e. 3.97 kg plot-1 and 3063.25 kg ha-1. It is also investigated that NP, fertilizer level 200-75 kg ha-1, produced maximum cotton yield 4.88 kg plot-1 and 37.65. 40-kg ha-1
