Dear Cotton Farmer, to ensure a high-yield and successful season, we provide you with the following technical recommendations:
-
March: Start with soil analysis to determine the precise chemical fertilizer requirements and apply them in balanced doses.
-
April: Early planting is highly recommended, taking into account the specific climatic conditions of your region to boost productivity.
-
June: Intensify pest monitoring and adopt Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, including the release of natural enemies.
-
July: Due to rising temperatures, adopt a light and frequent irrigation schedule, and strictly avoid over-irrigation or flood irrigation.
-
September:
-
Stop irrigation (Cotton weaning).
-
Start harvesting early to avoid weather fluctuations, such as rain and temperature drops.
-
Use standard bags (Shalul) and cotton threads for packaging to maintain fiber quality.
