Cho's recipe book says Mineral facilitates the differentiation of flower buds and helps ovules mature. (Cho, Recipe, p. 85) It also says Mineral controls diseases and insects, and controls root rot disease. (Cho, Recipe, p. 83) (Cho, Recipe, p. 84)
Drake separates the two jobs. KNF is biostimulation and biofertilization. GCM is biocontrol, which kills pathogens. (Office Hours Sep 2025, 20:04)
A research text reports that some seed companies inoculate cotton seeds with B. subtilis. The aim is better germination and seedling health. (Unravelling the Mysteries of KNF, p. 118)
The library says nothing specific about cotton flowering or cotton diseases. It gives no cotton ratios, timing, or disease list. The Mineral passages are general and do not name cotton. Drake would need to see the field before advising.
