ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2011-12 at Chamarajanagara to study the effect of different levels and methods of application of zinc and boron on yield and quality parameters of cotton. The results revealed that number of bolls per plant, boll weight and seed yield per hectare were significantly higher with the spraying of boron @ 200 g ha-1. Quality parameters like Lint index, ginning percentage, mean fibre length, micronaire value and fibre elongation per cent were not differ significantly due to application of FYM and methods and levels of application of zinc and boron. Among the quality parameters only seed index was significantly increased by application of FYM and spraying of boron @ 200 g ha-1.
Key words :
Cotton, Ginning percentage, Gossypium, Lint index, Mean fibre length, Micronaire value.
