Summary

The results of eight fertilizer experiments with cotton, conducted in several areas of Macedonia, were evaluated by leaf analysis to establish possible relations between leaf N, P and K and yield, as well as to estimate the adequacy ranges of those elements under local conditions. Such a relation between leaf N and yield does exist, and leaf N within the range 4·4–4·9% of DM is adequate. On the other hand, leaf P and K within the ranges of 0·20–0·29 and 1·5–2·6%, respectively, also seem to be adequate. These findings are in agreement with general experience in this region, where cotton seldom benefits from application of fertilizers other than nitrogenous.
