Cotton is one of the most important commercial crop grown in India and it contributes 29.8 per cent of the Indian agricultural gross domestic product. India is the second largest producer of cotton in the world after China. application of Polyfeed + Multi K recorded higher growth characters like plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production, crop growth rate and relative growth rate. Foliar nutrient application of Polyfeed (1.5per cent) + Multi K (1.5per cent) recorded comparably higher yield attributes and seed cotton yield. High profit was obtained under foliar spray of Polyfeed + Multi K with a net return of Rs.44, 604 and B: C ratio of 1.65 which was followed by DAP and urea. Application of Polyfeed (1.5per cent) + multi K (1.5per cent) along with a fertilizer dose of 150:60:60 kg NPK ha-1 could be considered as a better foliar spray treatment. It can be adopted for higher productivity and profitability of Bt cotton.
