Every cotton growers aim is to maximize the yield potential of each field on his farm. For achieving this goal, growers are trying to produce healthy, actively growing plants, managing stresses and reducing its impact on plants. As long as plant grows healthy it leads to increase water use efficiency and nutrients conversion, which in turn leads to increased yield. By adopting above philosophy and usage of Jaffer Agro Services (JAS) products and advice, this farmer has created history in farm production, i.e.

and as a technology follower, data management software is also being used to monitor farm management.

Recognizing the importance of weeds management and its impact on yield, chemical methods were used on pre and post emergence stages of weeds. For structural development, health & growth of plant, nutritional support was provided at all stages by using

In addition to structural development of plant, bio-stimulant technology was also focused to increase plant self defence mechanism against stress and improves boll / fruit retention In context of IPM, several products were used at early phase to save the beneficial insects and keep the plant healthy & vigorous growth.
Initially good quality & healthy crop were top priorities rather than high yield. For this purpose several techniques and products were used to save cotton crop from stress, disease and pest attack.

03
To keep soil healthy and fertile, organic matters are added by incorporation of crop residues and farm yard manure. Subsequently for protection from insects and diseases and for better germination & vigorous growth of plant seed treatment is done.
04
Main foliar nutrition will be Soluplant 20:20:20 with varying doses from 1 kg/acre to 3 kg/acre at various stages of crop (start to end).
05
WS SOP @1 bag/acre was flooded in 1 acre between 70-90 days due to its Fruit development Boosting power.
06
Water Soluble MAP will be sprayed in 2 applications between 35-45 days of cotton.
07
Humic Acid, liquid Zinc, liquid NPKs will not be used in 2011 crop because quality products are not available in the market

Basal dose of SOP was used 1 bag/acre. Engro Zorawar dose was used 1 bag/acre.
Same dose rate will be repeated in 2011. Engro Zorawar dose will be 2 bags / acre.

Reasons of Success Mainly blessings of Allah. Guidance and supervision of Jaffer agro Services. Right products on right time. Prompt decisions and immediate execution. Emphasis on keeping the crop lush green through pest control, use of
WSFs, amino acids etc.
International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) has publicized in one of its research that for one bale of cotton of 480lb (220 kg), 60 lb of N, 25 to 30 lb of P and 60 lb of K would be required. (Ref: IPNI Plant Nutrition Today, Spring 2011 No. 7 http://www.ipni.net/pnt) JAS has further explained these requirements by converting them as per Pakistani standard which is one bale of cotton weight to 170 kg and for it 22kg of N, 14kg of P and 22kg of K will be required. For different target yields NPK requirement will be as follows: Target Yield 90 70 50 30
mands mands mands mands
P (kg) 99 77 55 33
By considering above requirement of NPK and securing appropriate availability in relation with Soil analysis, cotton yield from 30 to 90 mands can be targeted. In addition to the basic NPK requirements, insects management along with weeds and overall nutritions management are also required to get the desired yield.

deficiencies, and insect damage. Under typical environmental stress, cotton plant will shed only small bolls and small to medium size squares. Actually, nutritional stresses alter the hormone balance which in turn causes fruit abscission. JAS range propose variety of products, which improve hormones availability and helps stress management of plants at any stage, in turn supporting Agronmicas better boll retention. (Ref: Setembro/2001

Products Recommended Dose Heliothis Recommended for
Spintor
40 ml / Acre
Spintor is effective both by contact and ingestion, quick speed of control, provides longer residual control in the field, highly active at low use rates. Also recommended for Thrips and harmless on beneficial insects which are helpful for pest management.
Thiosulfan
800ml/acre
Thiosulfan Keeps the crop green have no desiccation effect, support excellent crop growth, and helps plants in assimilation of food. Thiosulfan has unique property of low toxicity to beneficial insects, and pollinating pests in particular (Bio-selective).
Buffer
500gm/acre
Buffer prevents molting of White Fly (nymphs), suppresses egg deposition and causes adult insects to lay non-viable eggs; as a result, it reduces the total population of nymphs and adults in the next generation and shows a long lasting control effect. It also has no adverse effects on natural enemies and beneficial insects, and is considered to be an ideal IGR for integrated pest management (IPM).

Fertigrain Start contains Amino Acids and other natural nutrients which provide nutrition/energy to seed thus increase seeds germination percentage and provide a vigorous start to plant. After seed treatment with Fertigrain start, product will cover entire seed surface and after germination of root from seed product will be immediately taken up by the plant, it provides nutrition & energy to plant to emerge from the soil, improves root development Structural Development of plant, Wokozim power + helps in improving uptake of complex molecules from the soil and improves soil microbial activity. Wokozim is a storehouse of naturally occurring substances which improve plants physiological system at very low concentrations. Contribute to cell growth and breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones easily utilized by the plant. The constituents of Wokozim induce faster and vigorous development of root mass which improves assimilation of previously unavailable nutrients and other substances from the soil. Structural Development of plant, Plant growth and development processes are regulated by natural plant hormones. Bio-stimulants are precursor of hormones. The level of hormones can be influenced by altering plant hormonal level or by changing plant ability to respond to it natural hormones. Wokozim contribute to enhance the balance of plant growth hormones, consequently it enhances root and foliage development, increases availability of micro and macro nutrients and boosts plant resistance against environmental stresses. Stress management of plant, Tecamin Max induces fast restart of development of proteins in plant by providing Amino acids and helps the plant to uptake available nutrients from soil. It Improves plant growth/Vigor, increase flowering & Fruiting, retention of flowers and fruits and helps in quick recovery from stress. Vegetative Booster, Recommended for vegetative growth in crops, consists of pure, fully-soluble nutrients. Based on potassium Nitrate. Fruiting Booster, Stimulate flower development and root growth functions including photosynthesis, protein and carbohydrate synthesis, water regulation in plant cells and fruit formation Based on potassium nitrate. Fruit development Booster, Support processes needed to sustain plant growth, reproduction and aids in photosynthesis for food formation. Also contains special adjuvant for better adhesion to the leaf surface and creates fertilizer clusters that release nutrients over a prolonged period of time, improves absorption for continuing action. Consists of pure nutrients only, based on potassium & Nitrate. Fruit development Booster, Contain Potash and Sulphur. Increases root growth, improves drought tolerance and support photosynthesis for food formation. Reduces incidence and severity of wilt diseases. Increases water use efficiency, and affects fiber properties: micronaire, length, and strength. Important in maintaining sufficient osmotic pressure within the boll for fiber elongation.
