Agronomic performance of transgenic cotton under rainfed conditions

摘要

A field experiment was conducted during 2008-2009 at Agricultural Research Station, Adilabad o find out suitable plant density, nitrogen levels and scheduling of nitrogen with cotton hybrid, Bunny Bt inder rainfed conditions of Northern Telangana Region of Andhra Pradesh. Results indicated that higher plant density (27,777plants/ha) gave maximum seed cotton yield (3071 kg/ha) than lower plant densities (18518 plants/ha) and (13888 plants/ha). However, nitrogen levels and scheduling of nitrogen in five equal splits starting from 15 days after sowing (DAS) at 15 days interval could not influence the seed cotton yield.
