| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment entitled "Studies on physiological efficiency of Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) hybrids and their non-Bt counterparts" was conducted at the farm of Cotton Research Scheme, Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani during kharif season, 2009-10. The experiment was sown in simple randomized block design with three replications and six Bt cotton hybrids along with their non-Bt counterparts. Observations on plant height, leaf area, leaf chlorophyll content, relative leaf water content, specific leaf weight, seed cotton yield and its components and length of root and shoot etc were recorded. The hybrid Ajeet 155 Bt out yielded other hybrids owing to moderate leaf area and highest number of bolls per plant, bigger boll size and high harvest index and biological yield was also high. The characters leaf area, number of bolls per plant, biological yield and harvest index showed highly significant positive correlation with seed cotton yield per plant. As a consequence of Bt gene, there was reduction in plant height and increase in leaf area and tqtal dry matter produced per plant. Average of partly red leaves was more in Bt hybrids compared to their non-Bt counterparts. | en_US |
