9. What is the recommended spacing for rain fed / irrigated / light / medium / heavy soil?
Nuziveedu Seeds after several in-house experiments and trials developed the concept of increasing farm yields by increasing farm yields by increasing plant density by reducing the spacing between the plants in Bt cotton hybrids. It realized that after introgression of Bt gene, the cotton plant becomes more erect and bushy. Erect plant type increases the plant population per acre leading to higher yields per acre/unit of the land.
