Abstract

Field experiments were conducted in kharif seasons of 1978 and 1979 at Central Research. Farm, Agriculture College, Gwalior, with Bikaneri Narma cotton. Three sowing dates (7th May. 22nd May, 7th June) as main plot treatmeuts, were tried with three spacings (60x15, 60x30 and 60x45 cm) and three levels of nitrogen (0, 40, 80 kajha) as sub-plot treatments. The yield and yield-attributing chara:t.rs were favourably influ enced by early sowing, narrow spacing and high N-levels The sowing, of 7th May with 60X15 cm spacing and 80 kg/ha were found to be optimum for sandy-loam soil.
