ABSTRACT
A field trial was conducted to study the effect of different plant spacings and nitrogen levels on growth attributes and quality parameters of desi cotton hybrid during kharif, 2007 on clay soils of Department of Agronomy, Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani (M.S.). The 9 treatments comprises of three spacings and three nitrogen levels. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. On the basis of results obtained from present investigation the plant spacing (90 x 90 cm) recorded maximum growth attributes values over lowest and highest levels of spacing. Application of 100 kg N/ha significantly gave maximum values of growth attributes over 60 kg N/ha and 80 kg N/ha. The most of the quality parameters didn't significantly differ due to different plant spacing and nitrogen levels except harvest index of the desi cotton hybrid.
Key words :
Growth attributes, nitrogen levels, quality parameters and cotton, plant spacing.
