This study analyzes the impact of different N-P-K fertilizer rates on cotton yield goals, taking into account 2017 fertilizer prices. The findings are presented for the variety DP 1646, both for actual yield and yield goals. The effect of nitrogen rates in relation to tillage is also examined for 2017 and 2018 in the RDC Pivot field.
