Background: A key desire of a farmer is to produce a higher yield with low inputs. Through proper nutrient management, potential yield can be picked but mostly cotton is not grown with balanced nutrition. In this scenario, seed priming and foliar fertilizers have the advantage of quick plant responses. Therefore, a cost-effective, farmers-friendly,...

seed priming

A research study was executed at Central Cotton Research Institute (CCRI) Sakrand during 2021 to evaluate the efficacy of nutrient uptake from value added fertilizer in comparison of straight fertilizer. Eight treatments were kept with randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three times replicated plot. In the light of current research, it was...

Explorations of predatory spiders were carried out from sprayed and unsprayed cotton crop grown at Central Cotton Research Institute Sakrand, Sindh-Pakistan during the period of May-October 2016 and 2017. During the research findings eight species of predatory spiders were explored and identified from cotton field which were Philodromus cespitum, T...

Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuV) is a devastating biotic factor that imposed crop productivity a huge loss. To battle this issue this study was assessed in 2019 for the evaluation of the response of leaf extract of miracle tree (Moringa oleifera L.) and potassium (K) nutrition to mitigate the plague of CLCuV disease in cotton variety CRIS-129...

Six cotton varieties were evaluated at the environmental condition of Sakrand to assess the CLCV disease incidence % and due to its effect reduction in yield and fiber traits. It was confirmed from the present research that cotton leaf curl virus (CLCV) disease incidence generally has adverse effects on cotton crop growth and development, seed cott...

Seed cotton yield is being declined because of several environmental stresses (biotic and abiotic). Among these stresses, cotton leaf curl virus disease has caused a severe threat to the production of cotton crops in Pakistan. In this connection, a field experiment was conducted at Central Cotton Research Institute, Sakrand, Sindh for two conse...

The current research was conducted at the experimental field of Central Cotton Research Institute Sakrand during the cotton season 2018-19. Twelve genotypes were screened out under normal (15 days intervals), moderate (21 days intervals) and severe (29 days intervals) water stress conditions. Nevertheless, the significant difference was perceived i...

Thirty six candidate cotton varieties developed by different breeders of Pakistan were tested consecutively for two years (2017 and 2018) and at seven locations of Sindh and Balochista Provinces in national coordinated varietal trials (NCVT). The trials were conducted to explore seed cotton yield potential and fiber properties against two check var...

Cotton is well prominent as "white gold" important cash and precious crop in overall cotton growing development counties. The yield of this crop is depending upon the environment in which it is grown and management practices of the cropping system. It is noted after review of various publications of scientists that several factors are responsible w...

To explore the predator position in syapay and no spray cotton field in Pakistan

Explorations of predatory spiders were carried out from sprayed and unsprayed cotton crop grown at Central Cotton Research Institute Sakrand, Sindh-Pakistan during the period of May-October 2016 and 2017. During the research findings eight species of predatory spiders were explored and identified from cotton field which were Philodromus cespitum, T...

potassium nutrition of cotton

effect of moringa leaf extract as seed priming and foliar spray agent

Low yields of cotton are often an outcome of biotic and abiotic stresses. Among these stresses, cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuV) has caused severe threat for cotton production in Pakistan. A field experiment on cultivar Bt. CRIS-508 was conducted in Central Cotton Research Institute, Sakrand for two consecutive years to determine response of...

Combining ability was studied in five inbred parents and 10 F1 hybrids in upland cotton during 2013-14 at Halani, District Naushehro Feroze, Pakistan. Mean squares due to general (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) variances were highly significant for all the fiber traits; which suggested that additive and non-additive gene actions were inv...

The present research was carried out so as to estimate general combining ability (GCA) which is due to additive genes action, whereas specific combining ability (SCA) is due to dominant and epistatic gene effects of five inbred parents and heterotic effects of 10 F 1 hybrids, developed from half-diallel crosses. Mean squares due to GCA and SCA vari...

Cotton is the backbone of agro-based Pakistan’s economy. Mostly foreign exchange linked with cotton production. An experiment was conducted in the Central Cotton Research Institute Sakrand Sindh to determine the best suited cultivar in its climatic zone. Analysis of Variance showed that commercial cultivars were significantly varied from each other...
