“…This indicated that by using individual or combined of NCS-NPK and PGPR foliar application resulted in a reduction of traditional NPK which could decrease the environment pollution hazard effect. Our results agree with Kanjana (2020), Rabeh & Elsokkary (2022) and Rabeh et al (2023) who found that nanofertilizers enhanced seed cotton production. The ability of PGPR to convert insoluble phosphorus (P) to an available uptake by plant that helps to increase plant yields (Zaidi et al, 2009 andPindi et al, 2014).…”

“…Hybrid G93X G71 recorded the highest plant height (158.2 cm) with the combination of NCS-NPK and PGPR treatment at 50% T-NPK, while Giza 97 cultivar recorded the lowest plant height (127.2 cm) with PGPR at 25% T-NPK. This might be related to the nanofertilizers can change biological processes that affect a plant's growth and development (Meena et al, 2017 andRabeh et al, 2023).…”

“…On average at 50% T-NPK soil application, the combined NCS-NPK with PGPR foliar application resulted in the highest mean values, followed by individual NCS-NPK of studied fiber properties as follow; 36.09 and 35.48 mm for fiber length (UHM), 87.93 and 86.77% for UI, 4.16 and 3.97 for micronaire reading, 48.04 and 46.97 g/tex for strength , 7.79 and 7.42% for elongation percentage, 74.83 and 73.65% for RD%, and the lowest values of yellowness degree (+b) (8.77 and 9.05), respectively. Zakzok et al (2022) and Rabeh et al (2023) found that nano-fertilizers enhanced photosynthesis processes, reproductive stage, and physiological activities which contributed in improving the properties of cotton fibers.…”

It is vital to limit the loss of mineral NPK fertilizers during crops fertilization, especially in adverse soil conditions that reduce its availability to plants uptake and increase environmental pollution impact. This study aimed to reduce the soil application of the traditional NPK (T-NPK) fertilizers through partially adding foliar nano chitosan-NPK (NCS-NPK) with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to boost cotton (Gossypium Barbadense L.) productivity and fiber quality. During the growing seasons of 2021 and 2022, field experiments were performed at the Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt. A split-plot with four replicates based on a Randomized Complete Block design was used. Egyptian cotton cultivars Giza 97, 96 and promising hybrid G93xG71 were assigned to main plots, and seven foliar NCS-NPK and PGPR treatments were distributed in subplots. Results showed superiority of Giza 97 cultivar in boll weight (3.38 g), seed cotton yield fed -1 (11.13 ken), maturity ratio (0.94) and fiber elongation (7.85%), while Giza 96 cultivar in uniformity index (86.62%) and fiber strength (46.57g/tex) and promising hybrid G93xG71 in plant height (146.7cm), sympodial branches plant -1 (15.26), seed index(10.84 g), lint% (36.08%), upper half mean (UHM) (35.48 mm), fiber fineness (3.17), and fiber brightness (reflectance degree Rd %, (76.40%). Foliar combined NCS-NPK with PGPR under 50% T-NPK gave the highest values of the most studied treats. There is evidence that the combined application of NCS-NPK with PGPR can reduce the application of T-NPK fertilizers, which sequentially reduce environmental pollution and enhance cotton production and fiber quality.

Studies of boron (B) and silicon (Si) synergy in cotton crops have shown promising results; however, the focus was on the foliar application of B and Si. Nonetheless, B is an element with little mobility in the plant and its best form of application is in the soil. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the synergistic effect of soil applied B and foliar applied sSi on fiber quality and crop yield of cotton. For this purpose, a field experiment was carried out using cotton cultivar FM 985 GLTP. The soil’s B in the experimental site is classified as low for cotton cultivation. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete-block design, in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme, with three doses of B: 0.0 kg ha−1 (deficiency), 2.0 kg ha−1 (recommended dose), and 4.0 kg ha−1 (high dose) in the absence and presence (920 g L−1) of Si, with four replications. One week after the 4th application of Si, B and Si leaf content was determined. At boll opening, crop yield was estimated, and fiber quality analysis was realized. Boron deficiency reduced cotton yield, in 11 and 9%, compared to the application of 2 and 4 kg ha−1 of B, respectively. The presence of Si, however, increased plant yield in 5% in the treatments with 0 and 2 kg ha−1 of B, respectively. Cotton fiber length and elongation were not influenced by the B doses and Si presence. Fiber breaking strength was increased in 5% by the presence of Si and was not influenced by B deficiency. Micronaire was 8% smaller in the treatment with 0 kg ha−1 of B and 6% smaller in the absence of Si. Short fiber index was 4% greater in the plants of the treatment with 0 kg ha−1 of B. The results of this study reports that the complementation with Si via foliar application increases fiber quality by enhance breaking strength and micronaire. In conclusion, the interaction between soil-applied B and foliar-applied Si is beneficial for cotton cultivation, resulting in high cotton yield with better fiber quality.
