Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the main cash crops of
Pakistan. It has played a significant role in industrial
development and employment generation. It is known as backbone of
Pakistan s economy. Its impact on the economic development of the
country is well established and it is rightly known as silver fiber
of Pakistan. It occupies the 2nd position with respect to
cultivated area in the country. During 2007-08 the cotton
production was 12 million bales from an area of 3.05 million ha
(Anonymous, 2008). Chemical fertilizers which have nutrients
available, can provide sufficient nutrients to the crops, but their
cost and constrains frequently deter farmers from using them in
recommended quantities and balanced proportions. Moreover, limited
availability of chemical fertilizers and their high cost are making
their use difficult for the farmers. No doubt, use of chemical
fertilizer provides essential nutrients for crop improvement to
obtain higher yields; however, data of recent years reflect that
the crop yields in Pakistan are almost stagnant. This situation
warrants the use of organic sources of nutrients.
