Axis Guru KCHH 2739 BG II Cotton Seeds – High Boll Retention & Stress Resistant Hybrid

Axis Guru (KCHH 2739 BG II) is a highly dependable, stress-resistant hybrid cotton seed from Axis Seeds, engineered for farmers looking for steady growth and long-term yield stability. This variety is celebrated for its excellent branching structure and exceptional boll retention, ensuring that fewer bolls drop during sudden weather shifts.

🔬 Technical Specifications

⚙️ How It Works (Bollgard II Technology)

Axis Guru provides an internal, round-the-clock biological shield against caterpillars:

• 🐛 Dual-Protein Defense: The plant is genetically modified to produce two specific Bt proteins (Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab).

• 🛑 Total Bollworm Protection: When highly destructive pests like the American Bollworm, Spotted Bollworm, and the Pink Bollworm attempt to feed on the plant, they ingest these proteins. The proteins immediately paralyze their digestive system. The worms stop feeding within hours and die completely, keeping your squares and bolls completely safe!

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• 🌿 Excellent Branching & Retention: Develops a strong, medium-tall plant with highly productive sympodial branches that retain their bolls exceptionally well, minimizing drop-off.

• ☁️ Uniform Bolls: Produces dense, medium-to-large sized bolls (weighing around 4.5 to 5.0 grams) with excellent lint quality.

• 🛡️ High Stress Resistance: Shows fantastic environmental resilience, standing up well against mid-season moisture stress and maintaining its vigor.

• 🐛 Pest Tolerance: Features moderately hairy leaves, which provides a strong, natural physical barrier against early-season sucking pests like Jassids and Whiteflies.

• 💰 Premium Fiber Quality: Yields long-staple fiber that grows beautifully within the 180-day cycle, fetching excellent rates from ginners.

📋 Agronomic Recommendations & Sowing Details

💡 PRO-TIP FOR MAHARASHTRA FARMERS: Axis Guru KCHH 2739 is an excellent, sturdy choice for the rainfed and semi-irrigated belts of Amravati and Vidarbha! Because this variety has a slightly longer maturity duration (up to 180 days), it's highly recommended to sow exactly at the onset of the monsoon. To maximize the weight of the late-season bolls, apply a foliar spray of Potassium Nitrate (13:0:45) at the boll development stage to prevent them from drying out in the October heat!

🛡️ Safety & Farming Precautions

• Refuge Planting is Mandatory: To prevent pink bollworms from developing resistance, it is a legal requirement to plant non-Bt (Refuge) cotton seeds around the borders of your main field.

• Seed Treatment: Soak the seeds in water for 2 to 4 hours before dibbling to ensure rapid, uniform germination.

• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Monitor your fields weekly. Apply appropriate, targeted insecticides only if sucking pest populations cross the Economic Threshold Level (ETL).
