What is Bollgard II Technology?

Bollgard II is a Bt cotton technology containing two insect-protection proteins known as Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab. These proteins provide protection against susceptible lepidopteran bollworm pests that can damage cotton plants and bolls.

Bollgard II technology should form only one part of an integrated pest management programme. Farmers should regularly inspect the crop because Bt cotton does not provide protection against every cotton pest.

Refuge in Bag (RIB) Technology

Refuge in Bag refers to a seed-pack system in which the required refuge component is incorporated into the seed package according to the approved technology. Refuge management is important for delaying the development of insect resistance to Bt technology.

Farmers should use the seed exactly according to the directions provided on the original seed packet and accompanying leaflet.

Benefits of My Seeds Khiladi Cotton

Target Pest Group

Bollgard II cotton technology is intended primarily for protection against susceptible bollworm and other targeted lepidopteran pests. It should not be considered a complete solution for sucking pests such as jassids, aphids, whiteflies, thrips or mites.

Sowing Method

1. Prepare the field to obtain a fine and well-drained seedbed.
2. Sow seeds only when adequate soil moisture is available.
3. Follow the recommended row-to-row and plant-to-plant spacing suitable for the local cotton-growing region.
4. Place seeds at the recommended depth and cover lightly with soil.
5. Avoid very deep sowing, which may adversely affect emergence.
6. Provide irrigation after sowing where required, according to soil moisture and local farming practices.

Recommended Sowing Time

The suitable sowing period for cotton varies according to the state, rainfall pattern, irrigation availability and local agro-climatic conditions. Farmers should follow the sowing window recommended by the local agriculture department or the instructions printed on the seed pack.

Seed Rate & Spacing

Seed rate and plant spacing should be selected according to the approved recommendation for Khiladi KDCHH-9810 BG II, soil fertility, irrigation facility and local cotton production system.

Important: Always follow the seed rate, spacing and planting instructions printed on the original My Seeds Khiladi packet because recommendations may differ between regions.

Crop Management Tips

• Use healthy and properly prepared agricultural land.
• Maintain optimum soil moisture during germination and crop establishment.
• Apply fertilizers according to soil-test results and local recommendations.
• Keep the field free from weeds, particularly during early crop growth.
• Regularly inspect plants for sucking pests and other insect infestations.
• Use integrated pest management practices instead of relying solely on Bt technology.
• Monitor pink bollworm and other bollworm populations throughout the crop season.
• Follow local agricultural recommendations for irrigation and nutrient management.

Important Information for Bt Cotton Farmers

Bollgard II provides protection against specific susceptible insect pests but does not protect cotton from all insects, diseases or environmental stresses. Sucking pests and other non-target pests may still require separate management.

Regular crop scouting, pheromone traps where recommended, timely removal of infested plant material and appropriate integrated pest management practices should be followed.

Storage Instructions

• Store seeds in the original sealed packet until sowing.
• Keep in a cool and dry place.
• Protect the seed packet from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
• Keep away from chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides during storage.
• Keep out of reach of children and animals.
• Do not use seeds after the validity period mentioned on the packet.
