Plant Recovery From Early N and K Stress

The objective of this presentation is to report on a study to assess the ability of a cotton plant to recover from an early nitrogen and potassium stress. Nitrogen was split-applied, with 40 lb applied immediately after planting and 60lb applied at 175 heat units intervals, beginning at first bloom. A single 90 lb/acre potassium application was done at planting, first bloom, and at 150 heat unit intervals. Average yields, petiole concentration, and lint quality data will be presented.
