Economics of Bt Cotton vs. Non-Bt Cotton in Andhra Pradesh

2016
This section deals with the pattern of input use and cost of cultivation. These two factors play a key role in accepting or rejecting a new crop or a seed variety. An attempt is made to explore the differences in harvesting practices, inter-culture operations and transport from fields to homes.

Economics of Bt Cotton vs. Non-Bt Cotton in Tamil Nadu

2016
In this chapter, an attempt has been made to examine economics of Bt cotton vis-a-vis non-Bt cotton by examining the relationship of various factors to the yield, value of output and profit of cotton cultivation reported by the sample farmer households. It includes average Bt and non-Bt cotton yields, cost of production, value of output and profit, and

Impact of Bt Cotton in China [PDF]

World Development, 2001
Abstract A sample of 283 cotton farmers in Northern China was surveyed in December 1999. Farmers that used cotton engineered to produce the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin substantially reduced the use of pesticide without reducing the output/ha or quality of cotton. This resulted in substantial economic benefits for small farmers.

Bt corn and Bt cotton: Valuable tools for IPM

Crops & Soils, 2017
The widespread implementation of Bt crops has decreased insecticide use and increased crop yields, but it must be used in an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to protect the crop from pest species that are not susceptible to the Bt toxin and to manage resistance to preserve this valuable technology.

Agronomic Performance of Bt and Non Bt Cotton hybrids

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2009
An investigation on three Bt cotton hybrids was carried out for their agronomic performance with their counterparts non Bt hybrids at the Department of Cotton, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during winter season of 2007-2008 along with hybrid cotton Savitha. The results indicated that all the Bt entries recorded higher seed cotton yield

BT COTTON REFUGE POLICY

2000
Since cotton producers do not own legal rights to kill insect populations that are susceptible to insecticides, individual producers may have no incentive to account for future, insecticide-resistance productivity losses arising from their pest-management decisions.
