1 |
On demonstration plot the attack of Helicoverpa armigera was not observed upto 95 days. So no need to monitor the bollworm to initiate control measures |
2 |
Bt. Cotton helps to avoide or minimizes chemical sprays. Thus contribution to cleaner environment & conservation of bioagents & biodiversity |
3 |
According to farmers Bt cotton protects the crop from bollworms right from early days leading to a healthy crop. Better boll retention & more profit. |
4 |
Attack of Helicoverpa armigers was not observed at square and flowering stage of the crop due to which maximum no of squares are converted in to boll which helps in increasing the production of crop |
5 |
Bt. Cotton required less no of spraying as compared to non Bt. Hybrid cotton. |
6 |
Heavy attack of sucking pest was observed on the crop at 75 & 135 days after the sowing of the crop |
7 |
Attack of sucking pest was not observed on the crop due to seed treatment of Imidaclopride upto 50 days. But attack of sucking pest was noticed at 70 days after sowing of the crop. |
8 |
Bt cotton required proper management and irrigation facility. It is not suited under rainfed condition. It also required more nutrients. |
9 |
Number of bolls per plant was more in Bt. Cotton as compared to non Bt. Hybrid cotton. |
10 |
Foliar nutrition is essential for Bt. Cotton. (Water soluble fertilizers and micronutrients) |
11 |
Spraying of insecticides should be avoided when there are maximum beneficial insects on the crop. |
12 |
Farmers now know that indiscriminate use of insecticides diminishes the benefified insect and this should be avoided. |

Grain size of variety BSMR-736 was bold than local variety ICPL – 8863 |
6 |
Variety BSMR-736 found resistant to wilting. |
7 |
Number of branches and number of pods per plant were more as compare to local check variety ICPL-8863. |
8 |
Less attack of Helicoverpa were observed on variety BSMR-736 due to late flowering as compared to variety ICPL-8863 |

|
1 |
Seed treatment with Tricoderma viridae 4 gm/kg of seed controlled wilting effectively. |
2 |
Three sprays of neembased pesticide 12.50 ml/ha/spray, first spray of Neembased pesticide before flowering, second spray of Neembased pesticide + HaNPV 250 ml/ha/spray at flowering stage and third spray of Neembased pesticide + HaNPV at pod formation stage controlled Helicoverpa effectively. |
3 |
Pheromore traps wsere effective for trapping the moth of Helicoverpa and also for judging the economic threshold level of Helicoverpa. |
4 |
Two spray of Beauveria Bassiana 1 Kg/ha/spray also found effective for controlling Helicoverpa armigera. |
FLD on Cotton IPM |
|
1 |
Due to IPM demonstrations the farmers are now able to identify the beneficial and non beneficial insects |
2 |
Spraying of insecticides should be avoided at an early stages of cotton to built up natural enemies’ population. |
3 |
Reduction in the cost of cultivation by Rs. 405/- per ha. and increase in yield by 21.88 /haas compared to the farmers practice. |
4 |
Reduction in the use of chemical pesticides by 25 % |
5 |
Reduction in the cost of pesticides by Rs.572/- per ha. |
6 |
Additional profit due to increase in yield is Rs.3841/- per ha. |
7 |
Total additional profit due to IPM demonstration is Rs.4353/- per ha. |
8 |
Due to IPM demonstration in cotton ecosystem there was a increase in the no. of bird population and nests built in the crops. |
9 |
Conservation of natural fauna & enhancement in the activity of natural enemies (Predators & parasites). |
FLD On Bengalgram |
