Abstract
Therefore, study was conducted during 2018 at Karanampoondi village, Tamilnadu, India to evaluate the effect of different micronutrients humate and organic manure on the growth, yield and quality of cotton in saline sodic soil. In this study, three micronutrients humate namely, zinc humate, manganese humate and magnesium boro humate and three different organic manures viz., FYM, Vermi Compost, and Green Leaf Manure were used. The experiment was laid out in randomised block design __ replicated thrice. The results revealed that, application of Zn5.0Mn1.25 B1.5 + FYM @12.5 t/ha (T5) recorded the highest growth (plant height, leaf area index and dry matter production), yield attributing character and yield of cotton. This was followed by T4 (Zn5.0Mn1.25 B1.0 along with FYM @12.5 t/ha). The quality parameter of cotton namely ginning percentage, fibre length, fibre fineness, and fibre bundle strength and fibre maturity co-efficient were positively influenced by the combined addition of Zn humate, Mn humate and Mg boro humate. However, significant increase was observed with fibre length and fibre bundle strength only. Application of Zn5.0 Mn1.25 B1.5+ FYM @12.5 t/ha (T5) recorded the higher fibre length and fibre bundle strength of 29.84 and 28.93, respectively which was found to be superior to T4 (Fibre length and fibre bundle strength of 29.56 and 28.24, respectively). Thus, application of Zn5.0 Mn1.25 B1.5 + FYM @12.5 t/ha would be sufficient to sustain the productivity and quality of cotton under salt stress condition.
