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☁️ Very Big Bolls: Features massive boll development, weighing a heavy 6.0 to 6.5 grams per boll, translating directly to higher kapas (raw cotton) weight.�� High Boll Retention: Exceptional holding capacity with an impressive 6 to 8 bolls per sympodia (fruiting branch), ensuring a dense and heavy flush.��️ Sturdy Plant Type: The tall, semi-erect, and robust plant frame prevents lodging and comfortably supports the heavy weight of the bolls.�� Easy Picking: Known for good boll bursting and fluffy opening, which makes manual picking incredibly smooth, fast, and labor-efficient.���� Highly Responsive: Displays excellent response to good agronomic practices and timely crop management, rewarding the farmer with multiplying yields. �� Agronomic Recommendations & Sowing DetailsStandard Seed Packet Size: 475 Grams�� Sowing Parameter⚖️ RecommendationSeed RateApprox. 2 Packets per Acre (depending on spacing)Plant HabitTall, semi-erect, and very sturdySoil TypeHighly adaptable to medium and deep black cotton soilsIrrigationOutstanding with protective irrigation and rainfed conditionsIdeal Spacing4 x 1.5 ft or 4 x 2 ft (Adjust based on local soil fertility and moisture availability)�� PRO-TIP FOR MAHARASHTRA FARMERS: Because Srikar Jaiho thrives in deep black soils and requires a sturdy frame to support its 6 to 8 bolls per branch, it is an excellent choice for fields across the Amravati district and the broader Vidarbha region! To maximize the size and bursting of these large bolls, ensure an adequate supply of Potassium (K) and a foliar spray of a specialized micronutrient blend during the peak boll development stage.��️ 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. Apply appropriate, targeted insecticides only if pest populations cross the Economic Threshold Level (ETL).
