Abstract: The effect of two foliar feading products namely vita-fort and Miller (nutri-leaf) on growth and yield of the Egyptian cotton "Cultivar Giza 75 was evaluated. The foliar feeding treatments were; control, foliar feeding at budding stage or at beginning of flowering stage and at both stages for Vita-Fort by the rate of 1 g / L for each spraying, while it was at budding and beginning of flowering stage for Miller (nutri-leaf) by the rate of 2.5 kg / fed. for each spraying. Results revealed that foliar feeding had little effects on final plant height and number of open bolls / plant, while it increased number of fruiting branches / plant and boll weight which in turn increase yield / plant and yield / fed. Lint percentage was slightly affected while seed index increased in favour for foliar feeding. The higest yield / unit area was obtained with foliar application of Vita-Fort at budding stage.
