THE EFFECT OF BENTONITE CLAY APPLICATION METHODS ON COTTON YIELD
Abstract
The study investigates the effect of applying bentonite clay to cotton seeds (seed coating) and through foliar feeding on cotton yield. The results demonstrated an increase in yield by 5,67–8,8%. The most effective application rate was determined to be 1,5 kg/t.
