A study on Bt cotton and nutrient management practices in a specific type of soil found that using a certain equation for nutrient application led to higher uptake of nutrients and increased cotton yield. The researchers compared different approaches and found that applying 100% of nutrients through one specific equation resulted in the highest uptake of nutrients and the best yield. This approach was even better than using a modified version of the equation or a blanket recommendation. The study showed that proper nutrient management can significantly impact the growth and yield of Bt cotton in this type of soil.
