The proteins immediately bind to their gut, paralyzing their digestive system. The worms stop feeding within hours and die completely, keeping your crop entirely safe! ✨ Key Features & Benefits☁️ Consistently Large Bolls: Produces heavy, well-filled bolls weighing 6.0 to 6.5 grams each, ensuring a substantial increase in your total kapas weight per picking.�� High Reflushing Character: Outstanding regrowth capability. The plant actively continues to produce new flowers and bolls even after the initial pickings, extending your harvest window.��️ Excellent Pest Tolerance: Along with BG II bollworm protection, it exhibits strong natural field tolerance against early-season sucking pests.��‍�� Erect Plant Habit: The tall, erect structure prevents the canopy from becoming overly dense, which makes pesticide spraying highly effective and manual picking effortless.�� Reliable Performance: Adaptable to various climatic stresses, making it a highly dependable choice for securing a profitable yield season after season. �� Agronomic Recommendations & Sowing DetailsStandard Seed Packet Size: 475 Grams �� Sowing Parameter⚖️ RecommendationSeed RateApprox. 2 Packets per Acre (depending on spacing)Plant HabitErect and sturdySoil TypeHighly adaptable to medium and deep black cotton soilsIrrigationPerforms exceptionally well under semi-irrigated conditionsIdeal Spacing4 x 1.5 ft (Adjust based on local soil depth and irrigation availability)�� PRO-TIP FOR MAHARASHTRA FARMERS: Because Kaveri ATM (KCH-311) is renowned for its high reflushing ability and thrives in deep black soils, it is a perfect match for the semi-irrigated belts across the Amravati district and the wider Vidarbha region! To maximize its continuous fruiting potential, apply a top-dressing of a balanced NPK fertilizer right after your first picking, followed by a micronutrient spray to fuel the second flush of large bolls. ��️ Safety & Farming PrecautionsRefuge Planting is Mandatory: To prevent pink bollworms from developing resistance to the Bt proteins, it is a legal requirement to plant non-Bt (Refuge) cotton seeds around the borders of your main field. Always follow the refuge planting instructions printed on the packet.Seed Storage: Keep unopened seed packets stored securely in a cool, dry, and dark place until you are ready to sow to maintain optimal germination vigor.Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Even with BG II protection, monitor your fields weekly for sucking pests like Thrips and Whiteflies.
