Based on pooled results it is revealed that Rasi-2 Bt with insecticidal module proved to be superior in suppressing sucking pests as well as boll worm pests. It had also achieved higher yield of cotton (31.31 q/ha). It was, however, at par with BIPM-II (30.21 q/ha)and BIPM-I (30.06 q/ha).From the economic point of view and safety to natural enemies, it may be inferred that Rasi-2 Bt with bio-intensive module is the most promising and ideal combination followed by Rasi-2 Bt with insecticidal module and resulted in higher net profits (1: 47.8).
