A comparison between different rates of
nitram and ammonium sulphate on yield and
fiber characteristics of cotton

Abstract: In pot trials, the effect of two sources of nitrogen application (nitram and ammonium sulphate at different rates (0 up to 200 kg N/fed.) on yield growth and fiber characteristics of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cv. Giza 45 was studied. In general, Nitrogen supplementation of either nitram or ammonium sulphate enhanced the yields of seedcotton, cotton seed, cotton fiber, dry weight of stalks, number of open bolls per plant and plant height. No significant differences in yield and agronomic characters were obtained between the two sources of nitrogen or among the various levels of nitrogen supplementation (50 up to 200 kg N/fed). The interaction between the rate of application and the nitrogen source was insignificant
