₹901.00₹900.00

Nath Sanket (NBC 1111 BGII) is a high-performance cotton hybrid from Nath Seeds, specifically designed for high-intensity farming in Central and South India. This variety is famously known for its unique "Chain Boll Bearing" habit and its ability to deliver heavy yields even under pest pressure, thanks to the integrated Bollgard II technology.

Product Overview

Sanket is a "Money Maker" hybrid that stands out due to its indeterminate growth habit, meaning it continues to grow and produce new bolls over a longer period. It is particularly valued for its "reflushing" ability—the plant can bounce back and start flowering again after a period of stress or a heavy picking.

Key Benefits

  • Massive Yield Advantage: Trials have shown yields up to 39% higher than standard zonal BGII hybrids, making it a top choice for commercial profitability.

  • Superior Pest Tolerance: Offers a high degree of tolerance to sucking pests, particularly thrips, keeping the foliage healthy and productive.

  • Extra-Fluffy Opening: The bolls feature an extraordinary fluffy opening, which makes manual picking much faster and ensures the lint is easy to harvest.

  • Continuous Fruiting: Unlike many hybrids that stop after a few pickings, Sanket's chain-bearing habit ensures a steady supply of bolls throughout its long life cycle.

  • Irrigation Responsive: While adaptable, it performs exceptionally well under irrigated and protective irrigated conditions in the Central and South zones.

Cultivation Guidelines

  • Best Regions: Highly recommended for Central and South India.

  • Sowing Season: Kharif season (May–June).

  • Soil Preference: Thrives in medium to heavy soils with good moisture retention.

  • Recommended Spacing:

    • Standard: 120 cm x 60 cm (4 ft x 2 ft) or 90 cm x 60 cm depending on soil fertility.

  • Nutrient Management:

    • Vegetative Stage: Use Gromor 19:19:19 or Gromor Sponta to build a strong plant frame.

    • Reproductive Stage: To support its "chain-bearing" habit, regular doses of Potassium and Micronutrients are essential to prevent boll shedding.
