HYDERABAD: Telangana's cotton fields hold tremendous potential and its farmers lead the country by displaying remarkable resilience, experts have suggested, to boost productivity growth in the state, and to ensure that For cotton growers to continue their progress, there should be High Density Planting System (HDPS).
With HDPS, the density of cotton plant population has increased significantly, potentially quadrupling the number to 26,000 plants per acre. This innovative approach has the potential to increase both cotton production and overall productivity by an estimated 30-40 per cent, showing a promising increase from the current lint yield of 450 kg/ha to 750 kg/ha. Cotton occupies an important place in Telangana's agricultural GDP, contributing 43 per cent. This is further enhanced by the effective irrigation system enabled by the water resources of the various projects.
M Ramasamy, President, Rasi Seeds, underlined the importance of HDPS in revolutionizing the cotton industry in the state. “Empowering the farmers is our goal. HDPS, by optimizing plant density and land use, paves the way for higher cotton productivity,” he said, highlighting why it is important now.
Dr. Cater Heck, international cotton expert and vice president of agricultural and environmental research at Cotton Inc., USA, said India's remarkable progress in cotton productivity is coming to the fore as the agricultural landscape evolves. Now more than ever, it is more important than ever to embrace cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, which provide us with the opportunity to increase yields and improve the livelihoods of our farmers.
