Ever since the release of Bt cotton hybrids, there have been debates on the environmental issues and per se field efficacy at farm level of the released cultivars. Today we have 14, 29 and 25 Bt genotypes for North, Central and South zones, respectively among a total of 59, approved for cultivation. The very fact that the area under Bt cotton is on the rise, from 38038 ha in 2002 to 37.1 lakh ha in 2006–07 season, spells out obviously yield maximization at one hand and cost savings on the other. It is a feel-good factor of the Bt cotton, and we have been adopting it for socio-economic welfare of our country. Conscious of the anticipated field level problems such as resistance development by bollworms and secondary pest problems in the given Indian cotton....... |
