The specific method is to apply urea 7.5 to 10 kg per mu of cotton field, which is required to be applied to the bottom of the ditch in the middle of the cotton row and buried. After topdressing, irrigation should also be carried out immediately, because the water consumption of cotton field in flowering and boll period is large, and the relative water content of 0 to 20 cm soil layer should be maintained at about 70%.
