Cotton Cultivation in Gujarat
Introduction of Biotechnology in India’s Agriculture, 2016Co-Authors: Vasant P. Gandhi, Dinesh JainAbstract:After Independence, Gujarat achieved remarkable success in boosting agricultural sector mainly in terms of crop production and productivity of food and commercial cash crops including Cotton. It is obvious that growth of agricultural sector is directly linked with profitability of Cultivation of crops. And, realization of profit from Cultivation in a particular region is a function of many agricultural characteristics and practices of that region. Therefore, to assess more precisely the overall impact and profitability of Bt Cotton in selected regions, broad picture of Cotton crop related agricultural characteristics of the selected regions will be helpful. With this in view, brief information about climatic conditions, rainfall, crop pattern, irrigation, trend in area, production and productivity in Cotton etc. for State and selected districts has been provided in this chapter.

Cotton Cultivation in Andhra Pradesh
Introduction of Biotechnology in India’s Agriculture, 2016Co-Authors: Vasant P. Gandhi, Dinesh JainAbstract:Soils and climate in Andhra Pradesh are conducive for growing a variety of crops. The dominant crops are Rice, Groundnut, Cotton, Jowar, Maize, Green gram, Black gram and Red gram. The Cotton crop stands in the third place in terms of area. Over the past two and half decades there had been a significant increase in the area under Cotton in the state. Since Cotton is the third largest crop in the state, economic analysis of this crop assumes importance. In this connection the trends in area, production and productivity are analysed in terms of trend growth rates.

Success of transgenic Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.): Fiction or reality?
Cogent food & agriculture, 2016Co-Authors: Ali Noman, Rohina Bashir, Muhammad Aqeel, Sumera Anwer, Wasif Iftikhar, Madiha Zainab, Sara Zafar, Shahbaz Khan, Waqar Islam, Muhammad AdnanAbstract:AbstractCotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) being one of the top most cash crop is reckoned as main pillar of textile industry. Cotton Cultivation has experienced an outstanding escalation story over the years. The per unit yield and area under Cultivation have all incremented to record towering levels. But question is how Bt Cotton has contributed and whether it is satisfactory or not. At present for finding a conclusion, we need unfathomable analyses and investigations related to multiple aspects of global Cotton Cultivation. Genetic engineering is considered as an imperative tool in Cotton breeding with a role in empowerment of traditional strategies for improvement in net yield and related factors. Among multitude of reasons for massive shifting to Bt Cotton Cultivation in the world include inadequate germplasm, climatic conditions, irrigated area, usage of fertilizers and pesticides. We should consider Bt Cotton a miracle solution .Therefore, it is probable that Bt Cotton along with newly developed strate...

Our review brings into light the success of Cotton genetic engineering over the last two decades and probable future prospects.

Life cycle assessment of Cotton woven shirts and alternative manufacturing techniques
Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 2020Co-Authors: Hilal Kazan, Deniz Akgul, Aslihan KercAbstract:In this study, the life cycle assessment of Cotton woven shirt production, from Cotton Cultivation to the final product, has been done. In this scope, four alternative production scenarios were developed and evaluated with GaBi 8.0 software with CML 2001—January 2016 methodology. These scenarios include conventional Cotton woven shirt production, organic Cotton Cultivation incorporated with renewable energy use in production phase, evaluation of natural dyeing in manufacturing process and using recovered Cotton as the raw material. For each of these scenarios, several environmental impact categories including global warming, acidification and eutrophication potentials were evaluated. The functional unit was determined as 1000 pcs of shirts. In the assessment of conventional Cotton woven shirt production, pesticide and synthetic fertilizer usage during Cotton Cultivation as well as the energy supply for the production phases were found to be the major factors increasing environmental impacts. Using organic Cotton Cultivation and renewable energy sources instead of the traditional techniques, decreased eutrophication potential, acidification potential and global warming potential by 48%, 52% and 70%, respectively. Using recovered Cotton fibers as the raw material decreased eutrophication potential, acidification potential, abiotic depletion potential and global warming potential by 96%, 90%, 69% and 47%, respectively, by eliminating the environmental impacts that originate from Cotton Cultivation stage. Moreover, as these recovered Cotton fibers are already colored, additional dyeing is not required. Alternatively, natural dyeing process could be a good alternative to synthetic dyeing and decline environmental impacts by minimizing the use of chemicals and decreasing the required heat for dyeing.
