Abstract:
Field experiments were conducted at College of Agriculture Farm, Raichur during kharif 2014-15 and 2015-16 to study the interaction between commercial Bt cultivars (Bindas, Bunny, ATM and Dr. Brent) and planting time (II fortnight of June, and I and II fortnights of July and August) on crop performance. Results revealed significantly higher fibre finess (37.1) fibre length (mm) (37.1), Uniformity ratio (%) (50.06%), lint index (8.65), seed index (10.49g), maturity ratio (0.86), bundle strength (30.0 g tex-1) and ginning percentage (38.9) on pooled basis recorded with early sowing in June particularly with cv. Bindas compared to delayed sowings with same or different cultivars.
