Abstract:
A research study was executed at Central Cotton Research Institute (CCRI) Sakrand during 2021 to evaluate the efficacy of nutrient uptake from value added fertilizer in comparison of straight fertilizer. Eight treatments were kept with randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three times replicated plot. In the light of current research, it was concluded that uptake of nutrients from value added fertilizer Zarkhez Plus, Zabardast Urea and Zoron, these contain NPK, Zn and B caused significant difference with recorded highest growth parameters and increased bolls plant-1, formed more fruiting points, less shedding was occurred, given higher boll weight and seed index. Their positive effects of earliness as maximum bolls opened at 150 days after planting (DAP). However, highest seed cotton yield was also achieved. It was noted that application of value-added fertilizer T8 increased seed cotton yield 23.19%, 22.46%, 21.01%, 18.12% and 11.59% over T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. Hence it is recommended that farmers may apply new product of Engro Fertilizer Ltd. Zarkhas Plus, Zabardast Urea and Zoron for the growth, development and production of higher yield.
