Effect of Different Levels of Fertilizers on the Growth and Yield of Cotton under Different Tillage Operations of Raja Plough (MB Plow)
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
In this research an experiment was conducted at Rajput Farm, Tando Allahyar Sindh, Pakistan; to study the effect of different tillage intensity and fertilizer dosage on yield of cotton crop. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The tillage and fertilizers treatments include T1 = 1 crosswise passing of a Raja Plough (MB Plow), T2 = 2 crosswise passing of a Raja Plough (MB Plow), T3 = 3 crosswise passing of a Raja Plough (MB Plow), (F1=control, F2 = 50:25, F3 = 100:50, F4 = 125:75, and F5 = 150:100) respectively. Data analysis and statistical analysis were done through ANOVA procedure. The statistical data showed that the tillage treatment T3 for all levels of fertilizers doses demonstrated better performance as compared to the other tillage treatments. The T1 treatments showed less effective results regarding all the parameters. The highest plant height (160.244 cm), number of sympodial branches per plant (19.16), number of productive bolls per plant (68.22), seed cotton yield per plant (124.51 g), GOT % (33.45 %), staple length (26.48 mm), and seed cotton yield (2357.10 kg ha-1) were recorded in T3F5 tillage and fertilizer treatment followed by (T3F4) respectively. The data indicate that the tillage treatment T3 and fertilizer dosage F5 is recommended for getting maximum yield of cotton under agroecological conditions of Rajput farm, Tando Allahyar, Sindh.
