Genetically modified Bt cotton seeds have revolutionized cotton farming worldwide. Chemical Seed studies the latest developments in this field.

Advantages of Bt Cotton

  • Built-in resistance to bollworms
  • 70% reduction in pesticide use
  • 15-20% increase in productivity
  • Reduced production costs

Technical Considerations

A refuge area (non-Bt) of 20% must be planted for resistance management, while continuing monitoring and control programs for other pests using Acta products.
