 ABSTRACT

A Field experiment was conducted during kharif 2017 on the Central farm Balsa. VNMKV Parbhani of clay texture soil. Application of 125% RDF + foliar spraying of 0.5% Zinc+0.2% Boron (T11) twice during flowering (60 DAS) and boll development stage (80 DAS) recorded significantly Maximum growth attributes i.e., height of the plant (147.03) leaf area plant-1 (86.10), number of functional leaves plant-1 (137.93), number of sympodial branches plant-1 (21.38), total dry matter plant-1 (191.32)  but it was at par with the 125 % RDF + foliar spraying of 0.2% of Boron (T8) and 125 % RDF +foliar spraying 0.5 % Zinc (T9). Yield attributing character and yield it is observed from the data presented in (Table 2) significantly higher yield attributing character number of picked boll plant-1, seed cotton yield plant (g) plant-1, seed cotton yield kg ha-1 were reported by application of 125% RDF + foliar spraying of 0.5% Zinc+0.2% Boron (T11) twice during flowering (60 DAS) and boll development stage (80 DAS) recorded significantly but it was at par with the 125 % RDF + foliar spraying of 0.2% of Boron (T8) and 125 % RDF +foliar spraying 0.5 % Zinc (T9).

Key words: Zinc and Boron,  DAS, RDF
