Experiment code 15.2.3.45
Experiment Title Response of Bt. cotton to gypsum, organic manure and nitrogen levels under partially reclaimed coastal salt affected soils
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Cotton is important cash crop and it grown in about 27 lakh ha in the Gujarat. Bt. cotton hybrids occupy more than 90 % of total cotton cultivation area. Earlier studies at Danti-Umbharat indicated that Bt. cotton can be grown well on salt affected soil. In coastal area, soil salinity is a problem and it can be improved by using different soil amendments. Use of soil amendments like gypsum as well as organic manures improve soil properties and crop growth. Nitrogen is the most important input for growth and yield of cotton crop and it requires more or less throughout the growth period. Keeping this in view, the present experiment is planned.
