Results<br />

The results indicated that, treatment <strong>of</strong> foliar spray during dry spell recorded significantly higher<br />

seed cotton yield, cotton stalk yield, B:C ratio and high rainwater use efficiency than treatment <strong>of</strong><br />

foliar spray after relieving <strong>of</strong> stress. Drought disturbs the mineral-nutrient relations in plants<br />

through their effects on nutrient availability and partitioning <strong>of</strong> transport processes in plants.<br />

Frequent soil drying is likely to induce a decrease in nutrients particularly P due to reduced<br />

diffusion and poor uptake, in addition to restrictions in available water, with strong interactive<br />

effects on plant growth and functioning (Singh et al., 2006). Treatment <strong>of</strong> foliar spray <strong>of</strong> 19:19:19<br />

mix water soluble fertilizer + ZnSO 4 @ 0.5% recorded significantly higher seed cotton yield,<br />

cotton stalk yield, B:C ratio and high rainwater use efficiency than rest <strong>of</strong> the treatments. Cotton<br />

productivity was increased due to application <strong>of</strong> different foliar spray (Asewar et al.2021, Singh<br />

et al. 2015 and Shivamurthy and Biradar 2014). This might be due to foliar applied nutrients<br />

sustain proper leaf nutrition as well as carbon balance and improving photosynthetic capacity.<br />

Institutional and policy innovations for accelerated and enhanced impacts<br />
