Abstract:
Two field studies were conducted to evaluate cotton yield and its components which response to foliar application of Nitrophenolate (Super tonic) at 2017 and 2018 seasons in Sakha- Kafr - El Shiekh government. Split plot design with three replicates, the main factors were varieties (Giza 94 and Giza 96), sub main plot were four levels of super tonic (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2.00 cm / liter) compared with untreated plants. The results obtained that, Giza 94 was superior to Giza 96 in some studied characters like (no. of flowers, no. of setting bolls/ plant, chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids, phenols, no. of total open bolls and seed cotton yield per faddan. On the other hand, Foliar application of super tonic at 1.00 cm/ liter gave the highest number of almost of studied characters as, no. of flowers/ plant, total phenols, plant height, no. of fruiting branches, no. of open bolls and seed cotton yield compared with other concentrations. The interactions between varieties and rates of super tonic were significant in almost studied characters. Therefore, foliar application of Giza 94 plants with super tonic at 1.00 cm / liter as combination treatments was highest of most characters that other combinations, at the next foliar application of Giza 96 plants with super tonic at 2.00 cm /liter.
