Optimal planting time and spacing boost Bt cotton yield significantly.
A study was done to see how planting time and spacing affect the growth and yield of Bt cotton. Cotton planted in April grew taller and produced more cotton compared to May plantings. A row spacing of 67.5 cm x 60 cm gave the highest cotton yield, while a spacing of 100 x 60 cm resulted in better growth parameters. The researchers found that planting Bt cotton in April with a spacing of 67.5 cm x 60 cm gave the best results in terms of plant height, yield, and growth indices.
