Abstract


In a field trial conducted with CBS. 156 hybrid cotton under eight levels of potash fertilization in combination with two levels of N under irrigated conditions, a positive response in increasing the kapas yield to the application of potash and nitrogen was observed. The combination of 60 kg/ha each of N and K had recorded the highest kapas yield. The bundle strength (tenacity) was also the highest at this level of N and K combination. The other technological properties such as ginning percentage, mean fibre length, micronaire value and maturity coefficient were not influenced by any of the treatments.
