Advantages of adopting detoping technology in sustainable agriculture
In Gujarat, cotton has been planted in about 4 lakh hectares and in India in 115 lakh hectares. The adoption of new technology of detoping to increase production and income in such large scale plantations is likely to increase the revenue by crores of rupees at the state and national level. Today we need to reduce farming costs and increase production. For this we adopt economically viable and more profitable crops by adopting the recommendations based on the latest research done by the agricultural universities but often due to the use of more nitrogenous fertilizers or unfavorable weather conditions the height of cotton plants grows more than required. Is. So that it does not have a flowerbush, champa or jindwa and if it does, it sits very late. Thus, as the plant grows taller or vegetatively, all the food is lost in the growth of leaves and twigs. As a result, beetles, wasps or beetles sit less and late or fall down due to insufficient food. Thus, the food produced by photosynthesis is not distributed properly and the plant does not get production despite adequate vegetative growth.
At the Cotton Research Center of Junagadh Agricultural University, experiments were carried out for the last three years on how to increase the yield of irrigated Bt cotton plants at different times by cutting the tops and using different growth controllers. At the end of three years of research, it was found that after 7 days of planting (at a height of 5-6.5 feet), the tops of the cotton plants. Cutting (tree) restricts the growth of plant height and changes the whole structure of the plant. This is due to its inhibitory effect on the biosynthesis of the growth promoter (oxygen, gibberellic acid ૩) at the apex of the plant. By controlling the height of the cotton plant, the chlorophyll in the leaves of the plant increases in 7 days and the spread of the plant increases the photosynthesis capacity with at least mutual shading and exposure to sunlight as required. The number and length of fruit bearing branches also increase significantly. Thus, due to the increase in the number and length of fruit bearing branches, the number of flowers, wasps and reptiles has also increased significantly, resulting in a good increase of 13.1% in production. In addition, 90% of the gin blooms one week early and the cotton crop matures one week early. Thus increasing the production of cotton without incurring any cost can increase the income or profit of the farmer.
Thus it is very important to cut the stump of the cotton plant to control its height and vegetative growth in order to get more production from irrigated Bt cotton plants. Its findings and recommendations are outlined here.

Benefits of pruning cotton plants:
By controlling the height of the cotton plant, the plants grow symmetrically.
The sympodial branch of the cotton plant (footing branch-bearing branch) grows in length.
As the length of the sympodial stalk increases, so does the number of flower wasps, stalks and stalks.
As the number of sympodial twigs of the cotton plant increases, so does the number of ginseng.
As the height of the plant is controlled and its trunk and branches increase in thickness, the plant does not bend with more wind or the branches do not break.
As the girth of the plant increases, so does the action of photosynthesis, which produces more food.
As the food is stored in the leaves, the thickness of the leaves increases and this food stops the flowering of wasps, stalks and stalks which are available in sufficient quantity when required.
Height control in cotton leads to a good increase in production.
The cotton crop has made a profit of more than 12.1% without any additional cost.
Advantages of adopting detoping technology in sustainable agriculture
Is a cost-effective, simple and adaptable technology.
The crop gets more productivity and profitability.
The branches of the plant have a short and strong structure which is conducive to cotton weaving.
Less water, fertilizer and chemicals are used early in the crop to reduce production costs.
Prevents harmful effects on natural ecosystems without the use of any fertilizers or chemicals.
Pollution of land, rivers and groundwater is stopped without the use of chemicals to increase production.
Increases the health or safety of farm laborers without the use of chemicals.
Fragrant cotton and fiber-lint products of safe cotton.
There is minimal disruption to existing systems.
Maintains soil health.
The cut top of the plant adds organic compound to the soil.
