Description A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad during
kharif 2004-2005 to find out the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on seed and
seed quality cotton hybrid, DHH-11. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatments
comprising of two micronutrients at various concentration and their combinations laid out in
randomized block design with three replication.
Number of sympodial branches were found significant due to foliar applications of
MgSO4 (1%) at 60 DAS and Boron (0.1%) at 75 DAS than control. The highest number of
flowers per plant, number of bolls per plant, average boll weight, seed cotton yield and seed
yield were recorded with foliar application of MgSO4 (%) at 60 DAS in combination with
Boron (0.1%) at 75 DAS.
Higher germination, shoot length, root length, vigour index, field emergence, seedling
dry weight and lower electrical conductivity were observed from the seeds obtained with
foliar application to female parent (CPD-423) of DHH-11 with MgSO4 (1%) at 60 DAS and
Boron (0.1%) at 75 DAS, followed by of MgSO4 (1%) at 90 DAS in combination with
Boron (0.1%) at 75 DAS. These applications not only increased the seed quality but are
essential to raise a good crop.
