The present investigation was carried out in vertisols of Akola district of Maharashtra to ascertain the effect of potassium application on yield and quality of Bt cotton. This was carried out by conducting field experiments on research farm of Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola and similarly on five farmer's fields in intensive cotton growing area of vertisols in Akola district during 2012-13 and 2013-14. The treatments comprised of various levels of potassium (0, 25, 50 kg K2O ha-1) applied through either MOP or SOP and additional foliar sprays of SOP @1.5 per cent at critical growth stages of cotton alongwith addition of equivalent quantity of sulphur through bensulf and control without potassium. The fractions of soil potassium were found to be increased alongwith increasing levels of potassium. The reduction in fractions of soil potassium during peak growth stages suggests that there was highest uptake of potassium during this stage and supplemental foliar application of potassium (SOP) had significant response at critical growth stages. The vertisols of present investigation categorized as low to medium in sulphur. Application of sulphur @ 18 kg ha-1 through bensulf was also found equally beneficial as that of SOP for increasing yield. From the present investigation it can be concluded that the fractions of potassium in soil decreased at critical growth stages of cotton viz., flowering and boll development due to increasing uptake by cotton. The application of potassium @ 50 kg K2O ha-1 either through MOP or SOP irrespective of sources showed increase in soil potassium fractions and improvement in soil fertility.Keywords

The field experiment was conducted at the Research farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on soil quality and cotton productivity under different tillage practices in vertisol. The treatments thus involved two main treatments and eight sub treatments. The experiment main plot comprised of two treatments i.e. conservation tillage (CNS) and CNV. In which one harrowing and two weeding and in conventional tillage (CNV) one ploughing and one harrowing, two hoeing and two hand weeding operations were carried out in eight sub plot treatments of nutrient management. The seed cotton yield was slightly higher under conservation tillage as compared to conventional tillage. Highest seed cotton yield was recorded in the treatment receiving 100 % RDF (60:30:30 NPK kg ha-1 (15.57 q ha-1) followed by 50 % RDF + 50% N (FYM) (14.84 q ha-1).Significantly highest bolls per plant in conservation tillage (19.95 bolls per plant) than in CNV (17.51 bolls per plant) while bolls per plant was recorded in the treatment receiving 100 % RDF (60:30:30 NPK kg ha-1 (20.38 bolls per plant) followed by 50% RDF + 50% N (FYM) (T3) (19.47 bolls per plant).Significantly higher uptake of major and micronutrients was recorded under conservation over conventional tillage. Significantly higher content of macronutrients viz., N, P, K, S and Mg were recorded in the treatment receiving 100 % RDF (60:30:30 NPK kg ha-1) followed by 50 % RDF + 50 % N (FYM). The total uptake of macronutrients at boll development stage was found to be significantly higher in the treatment receiving 100 % RDF (60:30:30 NPK kg ha-1) followed by 50 % RDF + 50 % N (FYM). It was also noticed that the total uptake of nutrients increased from square initiation to boll development stage as the age of the crop advances towards maturity.Keywords
