Experiment code 19.8.3.12
Experiment Title Effect of different defoliants on HDPS cotton
Research Type Departmental Trail
Experiment Background Cotton production is labor intensive in almost all the developing countries where it is picked by hand. In recent times, due to acute labor shortage, mechanized harvesting is gaining momentum. Mechanized harvesting requires the application of defoliants, which reduces the cost of labour used for picking cotton and maximum cotton can be picked in a single pick. Hence, to facilitate mechanized picking of cotton this experiment is formulated.
