Q. No.The biggest advantage of growing Bt cotton instead of non-Bt varieties is:
| 1. | reductions in pesticides to be sprayed on a crop and the ecological benefits which stem from that. |
| 2. | increased yield of cotton due to effective control of three types of bollworms |
| 3. | Reduction in predators which help in controlling the bollworms by feeding on larvae and eggs of bollworm |
| 4. | Potential reduction in the cost of cultivation |
