Growers have been advised to complete cotton thinning within 30 days.
In a meeting, experts stressed that cotton crops sown early and now 25-30 days old must undergo thinning immediately.
Fertiliser application should be avoided before thinning.
After thinning, one bag each of DAP and SOP or MOP was recommended through irrigation or broadcasting.
For glyphosate-resistant varieties, glyphosate should be applied at one litre per acre before thinning using flat fan nozzles. Farmers yet to sow cotton were advised to prepare land.
