 History of Cotton

  • It has been cultivated for more than 5000 years in Indus valley.
  • Cultivation of cotton spread from India to Egypt and then to Spain and Italy. Every evidence shows that India is the origin
  • Development in agriculture 16 century A.D. Introduction of crops like potato, sweet potato, cassava, tomato, chillies
  • From India, cotton was introduced eastward to China and Westward to Egypt around A.D. 600 but it was probably not cultivated there as a field crop for textile purposes until the thirteenth or fourteenth century
  • Growing in India, USA, Russia, China, Brazil, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, Mexico and Sudan.
  • These countries nearly account for 80-90% of total cotton production
  • C.T. Patel develops hybrid cotton, ‘H-4’ in 1967
  • Central Institute for Cotton Research Nagpur- 1976
  • Indian Central Cotton Committee (ICCC) (1921) was formed as recommendation of the Indian Central Cotton Commission (1917–18)
  •  PIRRCOM (Project for intensification of regional research on cotton, oil seeds and millets)- 1956

Season and Varieties

  • Winter irrigated (August–September in T.N)- MCU-5, MCU-9, MCU-11, Suvin, HB-224, Jayalakshmi, TCHB 213
  • Summer irrigated (February–March in T.N )- MCU 5, MCU 9, LRA 5166, SVPR 1
  • Short duration (January–February in T.N)- MCU 7
  • Medium duration (January–February in T.N)- LRA 5166
  • Rain fed (September–October in T.N)- MCU.10, LRA 5166, K.10, Paiyur1
  • Rice fallow (February–March in T.N)- ADT 1, MCU 7

Land Preparation

  • Field is ploughed & prepared to a fine tilth. Application of 12.5 t FYM/ha basal
  • Ridges & furrows are formed at 10 m long with spacing depending
  • 50% of N & full dose of P & K is applied basally & the remaining 50% N is applied at squaring/basal stage
  • Application of 12.5 kg of micro nutrient mixture is also recommended
  • Azospirillum- also for Cotton, sugarcane, oilseeds

Acid Delinting

  • Commercial conc. H2SO4 at 100 ml/ha of fuzzy seeds.
  • Seeds is completely digested & the seed coat attain a dark brown colour of coffee seeds after roasting
  • Remove the ill filled & floating seeds while the healthy & good seeds remain in the bottom.
  • After acid delinting, the seeds are treated with carbendazim/captan/thiram at 2 g/kg of seeds.

Disease Management

  • Control bacterial leaf blight – Copper oxy chloride 2.5 kg/ha
  • Control alternaria leaf spot – Mancozeb 1.0 kg/ha
  •  Control boll rot – Carbendazim 500 gm
  • Control root rot – Spot application of Carbendazim at 1 g/l

Pest Management

  • For managing white fly, tolerant varieties LPS 141 and Supriya   crop-rotation with non-preferred hosts as sorghum, ragi & maize.
  • NSKE- Neem seed kernel extract 5% or neem oil at 5 ml/l or monocrotophos 36 WSC 1.25 l/ha
  • Control Thrips, Aphids, Leaf hopper– Monocrotophos 1000 ml/ha
  • Control Bollworms and pink boll worm– Endosulfan 0.07% & Triazophos 0.1%.
  • Control Tobacco cut worm– Chlorpyriphos 20EC 2.0 l/ha

Weed Management

  • Pre-emergence herbicide fluchoralin@2 l/ha/[email protected] l/ha followed by
  • Hand weeding on 35–40 DAS. The field is irrigated immediately after herbicideapplication.
  • Gap filling at 10 days after sowing and thinning at 15 DAS
  • Spraying of NAA@40 ppm is done to prevent early shedding of buds & squares at square formation
  • Drift control agents – Herbicide spray drifts may pose serious hazards to non-target plants e.g. 2,4–D on Cotton

Irrigation Management

  • Germination Stage-  1 to 15 Day
  • Vegetative  Stage-     16 to 44 Day
  • Flowering Stage-      45 to 100 Day

Cropping pattern
