A field experiment was conducted for 3 years (2001-03) at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to study the effect of Vegimax and Mahaagrozyrne, two organic plant food supplements, and stimulants on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). The optimum levels of application were found to be 0.25 mlllitre water for Vegimax and 3 mlllitre water for Mahaagrozyme. Vegimax and Mahaagrozyme were not effective when applied along with fertilizer nitrogen. However, with farmyard manure both Vegimax and Mahaagrozyme were quite effec- tive and resulted in highest seed-cotton yield.References
