Bt insect-protection cotton seeds are widely planted around the world as an environment-friendly way of controlling bollworms, which are known to cause maximum yield loss and economic damage to the cotton crop. The BT cotton hybrid seeds approved for commercial cultivation started in 2002 in our country. Currently, above 90 per cent of the cotton is under hybrid cotton as the farmers get maximum profit than any other cotton. BT Cotton cultivation is ecological and environment-friendly and the pesticides use is very negligible. That the reason it does not affect the birds and other forms of life. It does not affect the health of human beings at all. In the field of cotton cultivation, the role of women is very important. Increased production provides them higher income.
