Pink bollworm
Low productivity in
rainfed shallow soils
APY figures are average of three years (2019-20, 20- 21, 21-22), %share in
total, Area in lakh ha, Production in lakh bales and Yield in Kglint/ha
•
Poor soil health
•
High density planting system
(compact Bt varieties/hybrids)
• Boll rot management (between 60-90
days, prophylactic)
•
•IPM/IRM of Jassid & PBW
