Key Technical Points for Foliar Fertilization of Cotton to Prevent Premature Senescence

Growing Techniques 0 views
In the late growth stage of cotton, root activity gradually declines and the ability to absorb water and nutrients weakens accordingly. Adopting the method of spraying fertilizer solution promotes the absorption and utilization of nutrients by cotton, extends the functional period of leaves, improves root activity, and increases boll weight. As for the concentration of the fertilizer solution, urea is best at 1%, adding 0.5 kg of urea to 50 kg of water; potassium dihydrogen phosphate and superphosphate are best at 1%-1.5%. Superphosphate should first be soaked for 24 hours; after the impurities settle, slowly pour out the clear liquid, dilute with water, and then spray. At the same time, Tianfengsu or Shuofeng 481 may be appropriately added, which can

At the same time, Tianfengsu or Shuofeng 481 may be appropriately added, which can produce significant results. Generally, it is done after 4 p.m., spraying the fertilizer solution onto the middle and upper leaves of the cotton plants, covering both the front and back sides. Spray 30 kg of fertilizer solution per mu each time, once every 7-10 days, for a total of 3-4 sprayings.
