Summary

The experiment was conducted by supplying both organics and inorganics with desi cotton (Laxmi) under limited irrigation in low fertility soil (sandy loam) during 1995. The results indicated significantly higher chlorophyll a (33.1 mg/g FW) and b (19.33 mg/g FW) contents, cotton yield (8.9 q/ha) and cotton stalk yield (20.5 q/ha) were recorded with RDF+FYM+all the micronutrients over rest of the treatments. Similar trend was recorded for cotton yield, with RDF+FYM (7.6 q/ha) and RDF+all micronutrients (8.5 q/ha) over rest of the treatments. Besides, significantly increased yields of cotton and chlorophyll a and b contents were observed with the application of micronutrients individually over only RDF (6.4 q/ha and 22 and 10.8 mg/g FW).
