Abstract:
Cotton, also known as "white gold" and "king of fiber," is a crucial industrial crop in India. It belongs to the genus Gossypiyum and is grown on a commercial scale in India. Bt cotton, a type of cotton, is effective against the Bollworm pest complex and plays a dominant role in the country's industrial and agricultural economy. The study conducted at the Main Cotton Research Station, Athwa farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Surat, during the Kharif season of 2023-2024, analyzed biochemical parameters of Bt and Non-Bt cotton genotypes. The results showed that Bt cotton had the highest reducing sugar, proline, and flavanol, while Non-Bt cotton had the highest total soluble sugar, protein, total chlorophyll, and total phenol.
