Cotton

Cotton is one of the main crops in Brazilian agribusiness
and one of the most versatile. Various products are obtained
from it, such as oil, inputs for animal feed and the textile sector.

COTTON IN THE NATIONAL MARKET

Brazil is the fourth largest producer and second largest exporter of cotton fiber in the world.

What do you need to know

The cotton crop requires high levels of nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) to improve vigor and yield.

The cotton crop is very demanding in nitrogen (N). The total amounts of nitrogen extracted by the cotton plant to produce a ton of seed cotton, found in the literature, are in the range of 48 to 85 kg of N. The peak of nitrogen (N) uptake occurs between the first and second week of plant development, which corresponds to about 60 days of emergence, indicating that this is the limit for applying all the nitrogen in the cotton crop.

To obtain greater efficiency in the use of nitrogen fertilization, Cibra recommends Nitrocap, which is a fertilizer with a high concentration of nitrogen, ideal for providing lower losses by volatilization by increasing nitrogen (N) absorption. The efficiency of nitrogen fertilization results in greater plant productivity and vigor.

For the cotton plant to produce a ton of seed cotton, phosphorus is extracted in the range of 13 to 25 kg of P2O5. Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient for increasing early root development and anticipation of capsule establishment and fiber maturity. Potassium (K) is absorbed in large amounts by the cotton plant and is important for increasing maturity, fiber length and reducing premature senescence.

To provide these nutrients, Cibra recommends the BaseFort fertilizer, which also provides sulfur in its formulation, another macronutrient that the cotton crop requires, which is important for increasing productivity.
