Seed Selection & Soaking

  • Choose healthy seeds: Discard hollow or damaged ones.
  • Soak for 24 hours: Improves germination rate.
  • Drain & incubate: Keep in a warm, moist cloth for 24–48 hours until sprouting begins.

Typical Application Rates (per acre)

  • - Urea: 100–110 kg
  • - DAP: 25–27 kg (if used instead of SSP)
  • - Urea: 100–110 kg

Seedling Stage Overview

  • - Begins after germination when the shoot and root emerge from the seed.
  • - Ends when the plant is ready for transplantation (usually at 3–4 leaf stage).
  • - Duration: 15–30 days, depending on variety and climate.

Recommended Application (per 100 sq. meters of nursery)

  • - Nitrogen (Urea): 2–3 kg, split into 3 doses (Day 3, 10, and 17 after sowing)
  • - Phosphorus (DAP or SSP): 1–2 kg, applied during soil prep

Flowering Stage Details

  • Flowering Stage Detail
  • - Spikelet Blooming: Each spikelet opens in the morning hours, often between 8–11 AM
  • - Pollination: Mostly self-pollinated, but cross-pollination can occur (0.1–4%)

Recommended Application Timin

  • - Potassium (MOP): Apply at booting stage to support grain development
  • - Zinc & Boron: Use foliar sprays during early flowering to prevent sterilit
  • - Phosphorus: Mostly applied earlier, but residual P continues to support flowerin

Cotton germination growth detail
  • Paddy seed growth begins with soaking and sprouting: seeds are soaked for 12–24 hours to absorb moisture, then kept in a dark place for pre-germination.
  • Radicle and plumule emerge: forming the root and shoot system.
  • Seedlings develop Seedlings develop in nurseries for 20–25 days before transplanting.
  • Warm, moist conditions: Warm, moist conditions and loose soil help ensure strong early growth.
    Fertilizer dose:
  • - N:P:K = 60:30:30 kg/acre
  • - Split nitrogen into 2–3 applications for better uptake
Cotton seedling growth details
  • Cotton seedlings Cotton seedlings emerge 4–10 days after planting, with taproots reaching up to 10 inches deep.
  • Cotyledons unfold and begin photosynthesis, while the first true leaf appears after ~50 DD60s.
  • Warm soil (28–35°C) and moisture are key for strong root and shoot development.
  • Monopodial branches start forming as the stem elongates and nodes develop every 3–4 days.
Cotton fertilizer:
  • - N:P:K ratio: 60:30:30 kg
  • - Micronutrients: Zinc ~5 kg, Magnesium ~10 kg
  • - Apply basal dose before sowing and split nitrogen during early growth
Cotton harvesting details
  • Timeing: - When 75–85% of bolls are fully open and white
  • - Moisture content: Should be below 12% for safe picking and storage
  • - Too early: Leads to immature fibers and lower yield
  • - Too late: Increases risk of fiber discoloration, pest damage, and boll shedding
