Key Benefits

  • Exceptional Yield Potential: Designed to bear a high number of bolls per plant, leading to some of the highest yields in the BGII segment.

  • Superior Fiber Quality: Produces long, strong, and white fiber with a high ginning percentage, making it a favorite for spinning mills.

  • Strong Boll Retention: Features excellent retention of squares and bolls, even during the mid-season growth spurt.

  • Sucking Pest Tolerance: Shows high field tolerance to common pests like Jassids and Thrips, ensuring the leaves remain healthy and green.

  • Easy Harvesting: The bolls feature a wide, fluffy opening, which significantly speeds up manual picking and reduces trash content.

  • RIB Complete: Includes the Refuge In Bag system, where government-mandated non-BT seeds are pre-mixed for easy sowing and resistance management.

Cultivation Guidelines

  • Soil Suitability: Performs best in medium to heavy black soils with good water-holding capacity.

  • Sowing Window: Ideal for the Kharif season (June–July). Early sowing is recommended to maximize the vegetative growth phase.

  • Recommended Spacing: * Irrigated: 120 cm x 60 cm (4 ft x 2 ft) or 150 cm x 60 cm.

    • Rainfed: 90 cm x 60 cm or 120 cm x 45 cm.

  • Nutrient Management: * Basal Dose: Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer at the time of sowing.

    • Fruiting Stage: Foliar application of Potassium Nitrate (13:0:45) during boll development can further improve boll weight and fiber strength.
