Relative incidence of American bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in Bt and their corresponding non Bt cotton genotypes

Description

Performance  of  eight  Bt  and  non  Bt  cotton  genotypes  for  American  boilworm,  Helicoverpa  armigera (Hubner)  infestation  and  its  larval  population  was  evaluated  at  Research  Farm  of  CCS  Haryana  Agricultural University,  Hisar.  The  infestation  due  to  American  boliworm  and  its  larval  population  was  nil  in  Bt  cotton genotypes  both  under  unprotected  and  protected  conditions.  The  infestation  in  non  Bt  genotypes  under unprotected  conditions  was  maximum  in  RCH  134  (2.39%)  and  minimum  in  RCH  317  (0.88%),  while  under protected  conditions  it  was  maximum  in  ANKUR  651  (0.67%)  and  minimum  in  RCH  317  (0.10%).  The  larval population  in  non  Bt  genotypes  was  recorded  maximum  in  ANKUR  2534  (1.24)  and  minimum  in  RCH  134 (0.52)  under  unprotected  conditions.  However,  under  protected  conditions,  the  larval  population  was  recorded maximum  in  RCH  138  (0.89)  and  minimum  in  ANKUR  651  (0.33).  The  maximum  yield  in  Bt  genotype  was recorded  in  RCH  134  (27.84  and  30.04  q/ha)  under  unprotected  and  protected  conditions,  respectively. While  in  non  Bt  genotypes,  maximum  yield  in  ANKUR  2226  (12.75  q/ha)  under  unprotected  conditions  and in  RCH  134  (25.37  q/ha)  under  protected  conditions  was  recorded.
