Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) response to zinc (Zn) fertilization in terms of plant growth and development and yield components. Therefore, the effects of Zn fertilizer (ZnSO4) on cotton plants were investigated in both field experiments and pot trials. Application of zinc sulfate promoted nutrient (N, P, and K) uptake, utilization, and metabolism, slightly increased root and shoot growth, bloom, dry matter production, and improved cotton quality.
