Using legumes to enhance nitrogen fertility and improve soil condition in cotton cropping systems

Different Dates of Sowing and Nitrogen Levels on Growth and Yield Attributes of Irrigated Cotton

“…Late planting in contrast usually reduces cotton yield due to delayed physiological maturity and carbohydrate deficiency. These results are in agreement with those of Rochester et al, (2001) that plant height in cotton is related to nitrogen application. Subsequent increase in N levels from 50 to 150 kg ha -1 resulted in proportionate increase in the plant height.…”

Demonstration and evaluation of the effect of foliar application of potash on the growth and yield of seed cotton in ecological zone of Bahawalnagar

“…It is well known fact that K application boosts crop growth and development. These results are in agreement with those of Rochester et al (2001) that plant height in cotton is related to nitrogen, phosphorus and potash applications.…”

Use of Integrated Nutrient Management to Enhance Soil Fertility and Crop Yield of Hybrid Cultivar of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) Under Field Conditions

“…But, it is also the fact that optimum yield level of maize production can not be achieved by using only organic manures because of their low nutrient content [36][37][38]. Efficacy of organic sources to meet the nutrient requirement of crop is not as assured as mineral fertilizers, but the joint use of chemical fertilizers along with various organic sources is capable of improving soil quality and higher crop productivity on long-term basis [39][40][41][42]. Highest productivity of crops in sustainable manner without deteriorating the soil and other natural resources could be achieved only by applying appropriate combination of different organic manures and inorganic fertilizers [24,43,44].…”
