Fertilizer tests on cotton at the
High Plains Station at Halfway
in 1958 indicated that with fa-
v-orable weather for cotton pro- for’lanisc'aptoi
duction applications of fertilizer ___._______ _
can be very profitable. ~ ~~
In these 1958 trials two ferti-
lizer treatments returned over
$100 per acre above frtilizer cost,
these were 120-40-0 and 120-80-0.
Yields were increased as much
as 418 pounds of lint per acre.
Based . on the rsults obtained
under the two extrems of weather
conditions in 1957 and 1958, the
following nitrogen fertilizer pro-
gram can be suggested: If planted
before May 1, 100 to 120 pounds
N, May 1 to May 10, 70 to 100
pounds N, May 10 to May 20, 40
to 70 pounds N, May 20 to May
31, 20 to 40 pounds N, after June
1, no N.
Forty to 80 pounds of phosphate
is suggested regardless of planting
time.
