Macro and Micronutrient Removal in Irrigated Cotton Seed

Macro and Micronutrient removal is an important consideration in overall soil fertility management for cotton farmers.  Cotton seeds from under different irrigation and nutrient management systems grow under LEPA and drip irrigation systems were analyzed for both macro and micro nutrients.  Monitoring the nutrient status of cotton seed is essential to optimize yields and use fertilizers effectively.  Excerssive use of fertilizers may not only affect the profitability through increased input costs, but also can affect the environment through greenhouse gas emissions and contamination of groundwater.
