🔬 Technical Specifications

⚙️ How It Works (Bollgard II Technology)

Prabhat Supercot 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 yield entirely safe.

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• ☁️ Extra-Big Bolls: True to its "Supercot" name, the plant consistently produces large, heavy bolls, significantly multiplying your final Kapas weight per acre.

• ✂️ Good Opening & Easy Picking: The bolls feature excellent bursting characteristics. They open fully and cleanly, which prevents the cotton from tangling and makes manual picking much faster, saving you valuable labor costs.

• 🛡️ Sucking Pest Resistance: Exhibits phenomenal natural field tolerance against early-season sucking pests (like Jassids and Aphids), giving the crop a healthy, vigorous, and stress-free start.

• 🌿 Strong Plant Architecture: Develops a sturdy main stem that can easily bear the weight of heavy bolls without lodging (falling over).

• 💰 High Quality Lint: Delivers excellent fiber traits that are highly sought after by ginners and the textile industry, ensuring premium market prices.

💡 PRO-TIP FOR MAHARASHTRA FARMERS: Because Prabhat Supercot PCH-115 produces exceptionally large bolls, it requires strong nutritional backing. For farmers in the Vidarbha region, applying a foliar spray of a specialized Cotton Tonic or micronutrient mix (especially Boron) during the peak square formation stage will help prevent boll shedding and ensure maximum weight!

🛡️ 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 Storage: Keep unopened seed packets stored securely in a cool, dry, and dark place to maintain optimal germination vigor.

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