The flowering and boll stage is the key period for cotton to gradually change from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, and it is also the period when cotton needs the most fertilizer.

For cotton in full bloom, because vegetative growth is still parallel to reproductive growth, partial application of nitrogen fertilizer will lead to cotton vigorous growth and crazy growth, which will not only aggravate bud and boll shedding, but also lead to premature senescence. Therefore, some cotton in the peak flowering period should mainly apply compound fertilizer, with a high content of 15kg / mu of compound fertilizer, or a small amount of urea, combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Especially in cotton fields where hybrid insect-resistant cotton is planted, it is necessary to increase the application of potash fertilizer, not less than 15 kg per mu. Fertilizers should be applied deeply during the flowering period, and soil should be cultivated to form ridges.

For cotton that has already set bolls, peach fertilizer should be applied, and peach fertilizer should be applied twice in places with large planting area of hybrid insect-resistant cotton. When there are 2 to 3 mature peaches per plant, about 15 kg of urea should be applied per mu. When there are about 10 peaches per plant on average, about 15 kg of urea should be applied again. When there are more cotton peaches, there is no need to worry about the excessive growth of urea, because after setting peaches, the direction of nutrient transport has shifted from branches and leaves to cotton bolls, and the timely supply of sufficient nutrients can not only increase boll weight and seed finger weight, but also improve quality. However, peach fertilizer can not be applied too late, too late application will only lead to late ripening of cotton.
