Cotton nutrition and biostimulant programme
How cotton growers in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan use humic acid, seaweed, amino acids and biofertilisers, and how our Immunity cotton programme came about.
Stage by stage
| Stage | What the crop needs | Inputs growers use |
|---|---|---|
| Sowing | Even germination and roots | Humic granules; Azotobacter and PSB seed treatment |
| Vegetative | Balanced growth | Amino acids after stress |
| Squaring and flowering | Retaining squares and flowers | Seaweed extract; boron and micronutrients |
| Boll development | Boll filling and size | Potash; seaweed |
Results vary with crop, soil, weather and practice. Follow the label, run a small trial first and scale what works on your farm. Nothing on this page is a guarantee of yield.
Cotton problems and our programme
Problems growers bring to us
- Square and flower shedding
- Stalling in heat and dry spells
- Boron and zinc deficiency
- Poor boll filling
Immunity cotton programme
Cotton growers come to us with the same questions every season: squares and flowers that drop, crops that stall in heat and dry spells, and bolls that do not fill. Our cotton programme combines humic acid and biofertilisers at sowing with seaweed, amino acid and boron at the reproductive stages.
Distributors can carry this programme in territories where we do not yet have a presence, and brands can have it made under their own label.
Cotton questions
What is the best fertilizer for cotton crop?
Cotton needs balanced NPK by soil test, with attention to boron and zinc. Humic acid at sowing and seaweed extract at squaring and flowering are common additions.
Which micronutrient is important for cotton?
Boron is especially important for flowering and boll retention, and zinc is often deficient. Apply on a soil or leaf test basis.
What foliar spray is used in cotton?
Growers commonly spray boron and micronutrients, seaweed extract and amino acids at squaring and flowering, following a crop schedule.
How can I reduce flower drop in cotton?
Flower and square shedding is caused by water stress, heat, nutrient gaps such as boron, and pests. Fix water and nutrition first; seaweed and amino acid sprays are commonly used to support retention.
