Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Research farm of AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, Dr. PDKV, Akola to optimize the plant density and fertilizer regimes for yield maximization under weather variability and nutrient uptake by cotton crop under rainfed condition. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with eighteen treatment combinations in three replications. The soil of experiment was medium black (Inceptisols) clayey in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction, low in organic carbon, available nitrogen and available phosphorus whereas high in available potassium. The pooled results indicated that seed cotton and stalk yield was significantly higher in monsoon sowing, 200% plant density and in 200% RDF. The interaction of monsoon sowing and 200% plant density was significantly higher in respect of seed cotton and stalk yield during 2014-15. The N, P and K uptake was found significantly higher in monsoon sowing, 200% plant density (2.22 lakh ha-1) and in 200% RDF (120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1).
