All India Coordinated Cotton Improvement Project Indian Council of Agricultural Research

Bt Cotton Hybrid Evaluation Report – Central Zone: 2007-08

Executive Summary

The All India Coordinated Cotton Improvement Project of Indian Council of Agricultural Research was assigned the task of evaluating Bt cotton Hybrids in Central Zone during the year 2007-08. In the first year intra-hirsutum hybrid evaluation trial, two sets of trials viz, Trial set A consisting of 21 Bt test hybrids and three check hybrids ( one Bt Check (RCH 2 Bt) Non-Bt check (H8) and local non-Bt check hybrid) and Trial set B with 22 Bt test hybrids and same set of check hybrids were conducted. Both the sets of trials were carried out at 11 locations of Central zone with six under rainfed situations and five under irrigated situations. Irrigated locations were Surat, Junagadh, Talod, Khandwa, Banswara and rainfed locations were Akola, Nagpur, Nanded, Yawatmal, Bharuch and Indore. Intra-hirsutum Bt Cotton Hybrid Evaluation Trial (First Year) The performance of Bt Cotton Hybrids evaluated during first year (2007-08) under trial set A and trial set B are summaried below:

Trial Set A

Twenty one Bt Cotton hybrids were evaluated with three check hybrids viz, Bt Check (RCH 2 Bt) Non-Bt check (H8) and local non-Bt check hybrid. Among the check hybrids the Bt check hybrid recorded the highest yield both under rainfed and irrigated situations.

Under irrigated condition, RCH 2 Bt recorded a mean seed cotton yield of 1475 kg/ha. Compared to RCH 2 Bt check hybrid nine Bt test hybrids recorded higher seed cotton yield with the increase in yield varying from 4.9 to 25.4 percent, They are ZCH-50072 Bt (1849 kg/ha; 25.4% increase), PRCH-504 BG II(1707 kg/ha; 15.7% increase), ABCH-1065(1631 kg/ha; 10.6% increase), NSPL-405 Bt (1612 kg/ha; 8.6% increase) NCS 145 Bt 2(1602 kg/ha; 8.6 increase), ACH-177- 2(1599 kg/ha; 8.4% ncrease), NCS 854 Bt2(1567 kg/ha; 6.2% increase), PCH 2171 BG II(1551 kg/ha; 5.2% increase), NSPL-999 Bt(1548 kg/ha; 4.9% increase) .

However under rainfed situations, barring VBCH 1505 BGII, UPLLHH 2Bt, and UPLHH 10Bt all the 18 Bt test hybrids were superior to all the three check hybrids. The percentage increase in seed cotton yield ranged from 1.0 to 35.0 percent. Trial Set B Twenty two Bt cotton hybrids were evaluated with three check hybrids viz, Bt Check RCH 2 Bt, Non-Bt check (H8) and local non-Bt check hybrid. Among the check hybrids, the Bt check hybrid RCH 2Bt recorded highest yield under both irrigated and rainfed situations. Under irrigated condition, RCH 2 Bt recorded a mean seed cotton yield of 1583 kg/ha. As compared to Bt check hybrid, seven test hybrids were found superior with increase in yield levels ranging from 0.2 to 30.3 percent. They are RCH 578 BGII (2063 kg/ha; 30.3%), ACH 111-2 (2047 kg/ha; 29.3%), PRCH 31 BGII (1994 kg/ha; 26%), VICH 15 BG II (1779 kg/ha; 12.4%), ZCH 50005 Bt (1750 kg/ha; 10.5%), KDCHH 9632 (1724 kg/ha; 8.9%), NCEH 21 (1665 kg/ha; 5.2%). However under rainfed situations, barring GK 205 BGII, NAMCOT 609 BGII, all the twenty Bt test hybrids were found superior to the Bt check hybrid RCH 2Bt (1250 kg/ha). The percentage increase in seed cotton yield ranged from 1.4 to 33.8 percent. In general, fiber strength to fiber length ratio ranged between 0.7 to 0.8 All the entries tested including the check hybrids were found to be susceptible to jassids to varying degree under regular plant protection measures to control them. Mealy bug and aphids were also noticed on all the entries. Spodoptera litura were absent. Helicoverpa larval population on the Bt test hybrids were on par with the Bt test hybrid RCH2 Bt. The Non-Bt check hybrid H8 recorded the higher larval population of two per plant. Green boll damage, PBW larval population, square damage due to bollworm, open boll and locule damage were also less in Bt test hybrids as compared to the Non Bt and local check hybrids. The reaction of Bt test hybrids in terms of boll worm damage was also on par with the Bt check hybrid RCH 2 Bt in both the trial sets. Trial Evaluation of Intra-hirsutum Bt cotton hybrids for two years: 2006-07 & 2007-08

In continuation of previous year (2006-07) trial evaluation of intra-hirsutum Bt hybrids, second year evaluation of hybrids (submitted for AICCIP evaluation) was carried out. The hybrids submitted for 2nd year evaluation are BCHH 557 BG II by M/s BioSeeds Research, NCEH 14 (GFM) by M/s Nath Seeds, Ankur Akka BG II by M/s Ankur Seeds, Tulasi 4 BG II by M/s Tulasi Seeds, Ankur Jai Bt by M/s Ankur Seeds, Atal BG II by M/s Emergent Genetics. The evaluation was carried out as per standard procedures adopted for evaluation of test hybrids in earlier

years like inclusion of Bt and non-Bt and local check hybrids, ETL based plant protection and other entomological and pathological observations.

All the test Bt hybrids evaluated for both the years recorded higher seed cotton yield compared to Bt check hybrid RCH 2 Bt, both under irrigated and rainfed conditions to an extent of 4.6 to 35.4% and 8.6 to 16.4 % increase in seed cotton yield, respectively. However, NCEH 14 (GFM) recorded equivalent mean yield to that of Bt Check hybrid under rainfed condition. There was not much variation in respect of pest and disease reaction among the Bt cotton test hybrids and check Bt hybrid. However, incidence of sucking pests in Bt cotton hybrids was evident in both the years comparable to that of non-Bt hybrids. On the other hand, boll and locule damage in the Bt test hybrids and Bt check hybrid were seen lesser compared to non- Bt check hybrids during both the years. Similarly, yield levels were seen superior in Bt test hybrids compared to check hybrids under unprotected conditions also and boll and locule damage were also minimal with nearly same number of sprays resorted to for the control of sucking pests.

First Year Inter-specific Bt Cotton Hybrid Trial ( 2007-08)

The inter-specific ( G.hirsutum x G.barbadense ) hybrid trial was undertaken at Indore and Banswara centres in Central zone under irrigated conditions with ten test hybrids and MRC 6918 Bt as Bt check hybrid and DCH 32 as non-Bt check hybrid. All the Bt test hybrids possessed nearly similar Ginning out turn as that of check hybrid. As regards seed cotton yield, only six interspecific Bt test hybrids recorded higher yields as compared to check Bt hybrid with the increase being 6 to 28 %. Fibre quality attributes of test Bt hybrids remain equivalent to that of Bt check hybrid, with RCHB 720 BG II recording low micronaire of 2.7 and MRC 7929 BGII and MRC 7918 BG II having 2.8. Hybrid ZCH 50007 Bt BG I had high fibre strength of 31.3 g/tex. Even though moderate incidence of sucking pests was noticed in test hybrids, it remained more or less similar to check hybrids. However, the open boll and locule damage were found to be noticeably more in test and check hybrids under Banswara conditions, more so in unprotected situation.

Two year Inter-specific Bt Cotton Hybrid Evaluation (2006-07 & 2007-08)

The inter-specific Bt cotton test hybrids viz., NCHB 945 Bt (of M/s Nuziveedu Seeds) and Paraslaxmi (of M/s Emergent Genetics) were evaluated during 2006-07 and 2007-08 using MRC 6918 Bt as Bt check hybrid and DCH 32 as non-Bt check hybrid. Both the test hybrids viz., NCHB 945 Bt and Paraslaxmi recorded lesser seed cotton yield compared to Bt check hybrid, but both the test hybrids were superior in seed cotton yield and lint yield compared to non-Bt check hybrid (DCH 32). Fibre quality attributes and pest infestations were more or less similar among the test and check hybrids. The test hybrids registered better seed cotton yield during both the years of evaluation as compared to non-Bt check hybrid under unprotected conditions.

Trials

Evaluation under ETL Based Plant Protection Weekly observations were recorded from 45 DAS against major sucking pests and boll worms. The insecticide sprayings were based on the economic threshold levels of sap sucking pests and boll worms. The sprayings were undertaken in all the replications of an entry even if in one of the replications, the

threshold level of infestation has exceeded. Evaluation under Unprotected Conditions for Boll worms All the Bt Cotton hybrids and the controls were evaluated against key pests of cotton under unprotected conditions.

Pathological Evaluation

All the entries in the trial were screened against major diseases.

Observations Recorded All the biometrical observations were recorded in the ETL based plant protection plots. The biometrical observations recorded were Germination Percentage, Final Plant Stand, Ginning Percentage, Lint Index, Seed Index, Seed Cotton Yield and Lint Yield. The entomological observations on sap sucking pests, boll worm damages and natural enemies were recorded under ETL based plant protection trial. The pathological observations on incidence of major diseases like Alternaria leaf spot, bacterial blight and grey mildew were recorded under natural conditions.

A. BIOMETRICAL EVALUATION.

Biometrical observations were recorded in the ETL based plant protection trial and are presented here for Trial Set A, followed by results of Trial Set B.

TRIAL SET A

Germination and Final Plant Stand

The germination was in general good in all the entries, except that of KCH 707 BG II (77% in rainfed centres and 67 % in irrigated centres) and at all the locations (Table 1). The stand at harvest was adequate at all the locations in all the entries, except KCH 707 BG II (Table 2).

Boll Weight The overall Mean Boll weight of the Bt hybrids varied from 3.6 to 4.5 g. The non Bt check hybrids recorded a mean boll weight of 3.4 g. VICH-5 BG II recorded the highest boll weight of 4.5 g (Table 3).

Ginning Outturn

The mean ginning outturn of the Bt cotton hybrids varied from 29.6 to 34.2 %. Hybrid SBCH 286 Bt recorded the highest ginning outturn of 34.6 per cent and VBCH 1505 BGII has 34.3 percent . The check hybrids RCH 2 Bt and H 8, recorded a mean ginning out turn of 32.2 and 33.3 percent, respectively (Table 4).

Lint Index

In general, most of the Bt hybrids exhibited higher lint index as compared to local hybrid check and non-Bt check hybrid (Table 5).

Seed Index

The seed index ranged from 8.0 to 10.3, with VICH-5 BG II having higher index of 10.3. (Table 6)

Mean Yield under ETL based Plant Protection

The mean seed cotton yield recorded by the Bt cotton hybrids under irrigated and rainfed conditions are depicted in Table 7. Under irrigated conditions, around nine test Bt cotton hybrids recorded higher seed cotton yield than Bt check hybrid RCH 2 Bt, while 13 test hybrids recorded higher seed cotton yield over non-Bt check hybrids. Similarly, under rainfed conditions, eleven hybrids exhibited yield superiority compared to Bt check hybrid. Around 12 hybrids showed better lint yield as compared to Bt check hybrid. (Table 8)

Fibre Quality Evaluation

Fibre quality evaluation of the lint samples of all test entries from many centres were carried out and the details like fibre length, strength, micronaire, uniformity ratio are shown in (Table 9, 10, 11, 12). Most of the test hybrids had equal or better fibre length than that of Bt check hybrid (29.0 mm). Entries like SBCH 286 Bt and VBCH 1503 BG II had lesser fibre length of 26 mm compared to Bt check hybrid. There was not much variation among test hybrids as regards micronaire; however, UPLHH-10 Bt had low micronaire of 3.6. Similarly, fibre strength did not exhibit much variation. Most of the hybrids had fibre strength in the range of 20 – 22 g/tex. However, VBCH-1503 BG II had fiber strength of 20.2 g/tex and 19.2 g/tex under irrigated and rainfed condition respectively. Characteristic variation could not be noticed regarding uniformity ratio.

ETL based Entomological Evaluation Sucking pests and bollworms Jassids, whitefly, thrips and aphids were observed in all test Bt hybrids at different centres under irrigated and rainfed conditions. However, there was no difference in the population recorded in Bt test hybrids and the non-Bt check hybrids (Table13, 14, 15, 17). Mealy bug was recorded at Bharuch and Surat centres in all the test Bt hybrids, with no difference in the population level between the hybrids (Table 16). A mean population of natural enemies varying from 3.1 to 4.4 per 10 plants was recorded with no difference among hybrids(Table18). No Spodoptera incidence was observed. Larval populations of Earias sp., Helicoverpa armigera and Pectinophora gossypiella were very low and ranged from 0.4 to 0.9, 0.8 to 1.2 and 1.6 to 2.5, respectively. However, the mean population in the test hybrids was lower than that recorded in non-Bt and local hybrid check. (Table 19, 20, 22). As regards square, green boll, open boll and locule damage by bollworms, the Bt test hybrids recorded minimum damage compared to check hybrids (Table 21, 23,24,25). The mean number of sprays used for control of sucking pests varied from 2.9 – 3.6 and the number of sprays for bollworms in Bt test entries was rather very less compared to non-Bt check hybrids. (Table 26, 27).

Under unprotected conditions, maximum open and locule damage were recorded in Banswara (irrigated) and Nagpur (rainfed) conditions. However, overall mean percentage of damage was less in Bt test hybrids compared to non-Bt and local check hybrids. As regards control of sucking pests, the mean number of sprays ranged between 0.8 to 1.6 in the test hybrids and checks, with maximum number of three sprays being taken up at Surat (Table 28-33).

Pathological Evaluation The pathological observations like incidence of major diseases viz., baterial leaf blight, alternaria leaf spot, grey mildew, myrothecium leaf spot were recorded under natural conditions and presented centre-wise.

Talod: In general, there were no major incidence of diseases like Alternaria leaf spot, bacterial blight and grey mildew.

Surat : Most of the test Bt hybrids evaluated were seen disease free as regards bacterial leaf blight is concerned. However, test hybrids like SBCH 286 Bt, NCS 854 Bt2, ZCH-50072 Bt , NCEH-34 showed similar reaction of susceptibility like check hybrid

Bharuch: All the test hybrids remained disease free, except ACH-177-2 exhibiting more incidence of bacterial leaf blight as compared to Bt check hybrid.

Yavatmal: The Percent Disease Intensity ( PDI) of bacterial blight ranged from 2.33 to 11.66 with all test hybrids recording less than the Bt check hybrid. Only NCS 145 Bt2 showed higher incidence compared to check Bt hybrid.

Nanded: The incidence of bacterial leaf blight, alternaria leaf spot and grey mildew diseases were seen among most of the test hybrids and check hybrids, although on a lower PDI scale. Akola: Except mild incidence of bacterial blight, no other major diseases were seen in the test hybrids. Most of the test hybrids exhibited lesser PDI of 5.1 – 18.0 as compared to 19.3 in case of Bt check hybrid for bacterial blight incidence. Indore: Very mild incidences of alternaria leaf spot and bacterial blight disease were noticed among select hybrids

TRIAL SET B

Germination and Final Plant Stand

The germination percentage was in general good in all the entries, except that of GK-205 Bt BG II (47% in

rainfed centres and 66 % in irrigated centres) and at all the locations (Table 34). The stand at harvest

was adequate at all the locations in all the entries, except GK 205 Bt BG II (Table 35).

Boll Weight The overall mean boll weight of the Bt hybrids varied from 3.4 to 4.4 g. The non Bt check hybrids

recorded a mean boll weight of 3.5 g. VICH-15 BG II and Monsoon Bt recorded the highest boll weight of

4.4 g (Table 36).

Ginning Outturn

The mean ginning outturn of the Bt cotton hybrids varied from 29.6 to 36.0 %. Hybrid MLCH-317 BG II Bt

recorded the highest ginning outturn of 36.0 per cent. The check hybrids RCH 2 Bt and H 8, recorded a

mean ginning out turn of 31.2 and 33.2 percent, respectively (Table 37).

Lint Index

In general, most of the Bt hybrids exhibited higher lint index compared to local hybrid check and non-Bt

check hybrid, However, RCH 578 BGII had low lint index of 3.7 (Table 38)

Seed Index

The seed index ranged from 7.9 to 9.5, with SP 1037 B2 having higher index of 9.5 (Table 39)

MEAN YIELD UNDER ETL BASED PLANT PROTECTION

The mean seed cotton yield recorded by the Bt cotton hybrids under irrigated and rainfed conditions are

depicted in Table 40. Under irrigated conditions, around seven test Bt cotton hybrids recorded higher

seed cotton yield than Bt check hybrid RCH 2 Bt, while 20 test hybrids recorded higher seed cotton yield

over non-Bt check hybrids. Similarly, under rainfed conditions, 20 hybrids exhibited yield superiority

compared to Bt check hybrid. Around 19 hybrids showed better lint yield as compared to Bt check hybrid

averaged over locations. . (Table 41)

FIBRE QUALITY EVALUATION

Fibre quality evaluation of the lint samples of all test entries from many centres were carried out and the

details like fibre length, strength, micronaire, uniformity ratio are shown in Table 42-45. Most of the test

hybrids had equal or better fibre length than that of Bt check hybrid (29.1 mm). Only entries like PRCH 31

BGII and RCH 578BG II had lesser fibre length of around 26 mm compared to Bt check hybrid. There was

not much variation among test hybrids as regards micronaire. Similarly, fibre strength did not exhibit much

variation. Most of the hybrids had fibre strength in the range of 20.4 – 23 g/tex. Characteristic variation

could not be noticed regarding uniformity ratio.

ETL based Entomological Evaluation Sucking Pests: Among the sucking pests, jassids and aphids were predominant under irrigated situation, while whitefly and thrips were seen more under rainfed situation. Population levels of jassids, whitefly, thrips, aphids and mealy bugs did not reveal any marked difference among the test and check hybrids (Table 46-50). Mealy bug population was recorded at Surat and Bharuch with a level of 11.7 – 22.6 per ten cm shoot. The population of predators were evidently higher in test hybrids as compared to non-bt check hybrids with the level being more under rainfed situation (Table 51). Bollworms: All the test hybrids recorded low level of incidence of Earias sp., Helicoverpa armigera and Pectinophora gossypiella. (Table 52, 53, 55). The extent of square damage, open boll and locule damage seen in test bt hybrids were rather low as compared to non-bt hybrids. (Table 54, 56, 57). Eventhough, the number of sprays for the control of sucking pests was on the higher side in certain test centres, the number of sprays used for bollworm control was very minimal, with check hybrids needing higher mean number of 1.3 to 1.6 sprays. Under unprotected conditions, the open boll damage and locule damage in test hybrids ranged between 7.5 to 10.2% and 7.8 to 9.7%, respectively. The non-Bt hybrids recorded rather higher figure of 18.3 – 19.9 % and 12.2 – 13.6 %, respectively (Table 64-66). Pathological Evaluation The pathological observations like incidence of major diseases viz., baterial leaf blight, alternaria leaf spot, grey mildew, myrothecium leaf spot were recorded under natural conditions and presented centre-wise. Talod: In general, there were no major incidence of diseases like Alternaria leaf spot, bacterial blight and grey mildew. Surat : The test Bt hybrids like 311-2 BG, Tulasi 118 BG II, GBCH 01 Bt, NAMCOT 609 BG II, RCH 578 BG II, VICH 15 BG II, SP 1037 B2 showed similar reaction of susceptibility like that of check hybrid RCH2 Bt. Bharuch: All the test hybrids remained disease free. Yavatmal: The percent disease intensity of bacterial blight ranged from 3.0 to 11.3 with PRCH-31 BG II recording higher incidence of 11.3 PDI . However, Bt check hybrid exhibited incidence of 7.17. As regards alternaria leaf spot disease, all test hybrids and Bt check hybrid recorded lesser incidence. Nanded: The incidence of bacterial leaf blight, alternaria leaf spot and grey mildew diseases were seen on mild to moderate scale among most of the test hybrids and check hybrids. Akola: No major diseases were seen in the test hybrids. Most of the test hybrids exhibited lesser PDI of 5.14 – 18.8 as compared to 18.0 in case of Bt check hybrid for bacterial blight incidence. Indore: Very mild incidences of alternaria leaf spot and bacterial blight disease were noticed among few hybrids.

SECOND YEAR EVALUATION OF BT COTTON HYBRIDS (2007-08)

In continuation of previous year (2006-07) trial evaluation of intra-hirsutum Bt hybrids, second year

evaluation of hybrids (submitted for AICCIP evaluation) was carried out. The following are the details of

hybrids submitted for 2nd year evaluation.

1. BCHH 557 BG II by M/s BioSeeds Research

2. NCEH 14 ( GFM) by M/s Nath Seeds

3. Ankur Akka BG II by M/s Ankur Seeds

4. Tulasi 4 BG II by M/s Tulasi Seeds

5. Ankur Jai Bt by M/s Ankur Seeds

6. Atal BG II by M/s Emergent Genetics

The evaluation was conducted as per standard procedures adopted for evaluation of test hybrids in

earlier years like inclusion of Bt and non-Bt and local check hybrids, ETL based plant protection and other

entomological and pathological observations etc. The data have been compiled and presented in

following table.

In general, the germination percentage and plant stand at harvest were comparable to check hybrids, with

some hybrids showing lesser values in certain locations (Table 67 & 68). The mean boll weight in the

entries was higher compared to check Bt hybrid. The ginning out turn ranged between 32-33%, with

NCEH 14 (GFM) showing moderately higher GOT in many locations (Table 69, 70). Same trend was

observed regarding lint index, with NCEH 14 (GFM) recording higher lint index of 4.6 in many locations.

Most of the test hybrids had seed index values similar to check Bt hybrid (Table 72).

As regards seed cotton yield under irrigated conditions, data from Surat and Banswara have been taken

into account, with the test centres Khandwa and Junagadh reporting waterlogging situation in the second

year evaluation trial plots due to localized problem beyond control. All the Bt cotton test hybrids

exhibited considerably higher seed cotton yield and lint yield over the Bt check hybrid (Table 73). Similar

trend was noticed in case of rainfed situation with all the test entries showing better seed cotton yield and

lint yield over the Bt check hybrid RCH 2 Bt (Table 74). Fibre quality attributes did not reveal any major

variation compared to Bt check hybrid (Table 75, 76, 77, 78).

Sucking pests: All the Bt test hybrids were found equally susceptible to jassids, whitefly,thrips and aphids as in case of non-Bt check hybrids. (Table 79-81, 83). Mealy bug incidence did not exhibit any difference among Bt and non-Bt check hybrids at Surat and Bharuch (Table 82). Natural enemy population ranged from 2.9 – 3.8 in all the Bt and non-Bt hybrids(Table 84). Bollworms: Larval incidence of Earias sp., Helicoverpa armigera and Pectinophora gossypiella and square,open boll and locule damage in all the test hybrids were seen less than the non-Bt hybrids(Table 85-91). There was no difference in number of sprays for control of sucking pests among Bt test hybrids

and non-bt check hybrids. However, the non-Bt hybrids required 3 times more sprays for control of bollworms on the ETL based application (Table 92, 93). Under unprotected conditions, open boll damage and locule damage wee minimum in BCHH 557 BG II and NCEH 14 (GFM) compared to other Bt test hybrids. All the test hybrids recorded lesser damage than non-Bt check hybrids (Table 97-99). Pathological Evaluation Surat: Test hybrid NCEH 14 (GFM) showed noticeable incidence of bacterial leaf blight ( PDI 8.0 ), while others did not show any incidence Talod: No major incidence of diseases was noticed in test hybrids and check hybrids. However,mild incidence of alternaria leaf spot was observed in Ankur Akka BG II, NCEH 14 ( GFM) and check hybrid RCH 2 Bt. Bharuch: No major incidence of disease was reported in the test hybrids and check hybrids in pathological screening under unprotected conditions. Nanded: All the test hybrids showed less incidence of diseases like bacterial leaf blight, Alternaria leaf spot and grey mildew. Akola: Only bacterial blight incidence was noticed among test hybrids on a moderate grade. Test hybrid Ankur Akka BG II exhibited incidence level close to check Bt hybrid RCH 2 Bt (around 19.0 PDI), while other entries showed lesser incidence. Indore: All the test and check hybrids did not show any major disease incidence.

Combined Analysis of Trial evaluation of Intra-hirsutum Bt cotton hybrids

for two years : ( 2006-07 & 2007-08)

The data pertaining to combined analysis of the performance of submitted Bt cotton hybrids during

2006-07 and 2007-08 are presented in following Tables. All the test Bt check hybrids evaluated for

both the years recorded higher seed cotton yield compared to Bt check hybrid RCH 2 Bt , both under

irrigated and rainfed conditions (Table 106). Eventhough performance of some test hybrids was

relatively lesser compared to Bt check hybrid during 2006-07, the seed cotton yield was noticed to be

superior during the year 2007-08. There was not much variation in respect of pest and disease

reaction among the Bt cotton test hybrids and check Bt hybrid. However, incidence of sucking pests

in Bt cotton hybrids was evident in both the years comparable to that of non-Bt hybrids. On the other

hand, boll and locule damage in the Bt test hybrids and Bt check hybrid were seen lesser compared

to non- Bt check hybrids during both the years. Similarly, yield levels were seen superior in Bt test

hybrids compared to check hybrids under unprotected conditions also and boll and locule damage

were also minimal with nearly same number of sprays resorted to for the control of sucking pests

(Table 114,115).

FIRST YEAR INTERSPECIFIC BT COTTON HYBRID TRIALS ( 2007-08) The interspecific ( G.hirsutum x G.barbadense ) hybrid trial was undertaken at Indore and Banswara

centres in Central zone under irrigated conditions with ten test hybrids and MRC 6918 Bt as Bt check

hybrid and DCH 32 as non-Bt check hybrid. The general conditions of growing were as standardized

in earlier years with recommended package of practices and methods of evaluation. The data

pertaining to germination percentage, plant stand and other yield attributing characters have been

presented in Tables from 116 to 125. All the Bt test hybrids possessed nearly similar GOT as that of

check hybrid. As regards seed cotton yield, only six interspecific Bt test hybrids recorded higher yields

as compared to check Bt hybrid (Table 119). Fibre quality attributes of test Bt hybrids remain

equivalent to that of Bt check hybrid, with RCHB 720 BG II recording low micronaire of 2.7 and MRC

7929 BGII and MRC 7918 BG II having 2.8 (Table 120). Hybrid ZCH 50007 Bt had high fibre strength

of 31.3 g/tex.

Entomological Observations: Even though moderate incidence of sucking pests was noticed in test

hybrids, it remained more or less similar to check hybrids. However, the open boll and locule damage

were found to be noticeably more in test and check hybrids under Banswara conditions, more so in

unprotected situation. (Table 123, 125).

Inter-Specific Hybrid Trial – I Year Breeding Trial Mean Germination of Inter-specific hybrids for first year ranged from 80 to 95%, while plant stand at harvest ranged from 50 to 55. Plant stand at harvest at Banswara centre was comparatively more. Table 116

Second year inter-specific Bt cotton hybrid trial (2007-08)

During the year 2007-08, only two interspecific Bt cotton hybrids viz., NCHB 945 Bt and Paraslaxmi were submitted for second year evaluation trial. Accordingly, they were evaluated at Indore and Banswara under irrigated conditions in Central Zone along with check hybrids MRC 6918 Bt (Bt check hybrid) and DCH 32 (non-Bt check hybrid). The trials were conducted following established norms and the trial data are presented in the following tables from 126 to 135. Both NCHB 945 Bt and Paraslaxmi were seen lesser yielding in seed cotton and lint yield as compared to check Bt hybrid (Table 129). However, they were superior to non-Bt check hybrid. There was not much variation as regards fibre quality attributes are concerned. However the low micronaire values observed in the inter-specific hybrids in central zone are a matter for further evaluation (Table 130). Under unprotected conditions, both NCHB 945 Bt and Paraslaxmi recorded higher yields as compared to both Bt and non-Bt check hybrids (Table 134).

Combined Analysis of Two year Inter-specific Bt Cotton Hybrid Evaluation

The inter-specific Bt cotton test hybrids viz., NCHB 945 Bt ( of M/s Nuziveedu seeds) and Paraslaxmi ( of

M/s Emergent Genetics) were test evaluated during 2006-07 and 2007-08 using MRC 6918 Bt as Bt

check hybrid and DCH 32 as non-Bt check hybrid.

The summarized results depicting the performance of the test hybrids vis-a-vis check Bt and non-Bt

hybrids are presented in Tables 136 to 151. Even though both the test hybrids viz., NCHB 945 Bt and

Paraslaxmi recorded lesser seed cotton yield compared to Bt check hybrid by 100 kg/ha, both the test

hybrids were superior in seed cotton yield and lint yield compared to non-Bt check hybrid (Table 139).

Fibre quality attributes and pest infestations were more or less similar among the test and check hybrids.

The test hybrids registered better seed cotton yield during both the years of evaluation as compared to

non-Bt check hybrids under unprotected conditions (Table 151).
