Cotton plant on the terrace

[preeti patil]

Dear All

 

This is cotton growing on our terrace farm. One of my most favourite plants. A hit with children visiting us.

 

We got 500 gms cotton off two plants over a period of six months.

 

However wish to know the details of this particular cotton. ID help please. is this variety the same? as given in link below?

 GM cotton is now grown on 42% of the cotton area in India! This makes India the country with the largest area of GM cotton in the world. What is the need? Pl see....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton

 

"The poison on the platter" a documentary by Mahesh Bhatt on ill effects of GM food describe the horrors of GM  cotton being grown. resulting in  toxic allergies to not only farmers but also the cattle and goats grazing in these fields. The goats grazing in these feilds died with their intestines shrivelled after grazing in these lands.

 

These two saplings were grown experimentaly on the terrace. Now we have planted ten plants for documenting the yeild.

 

These are grown organically and have given fantastic yeilds without any pests!

 

If it can be done on a terrace in a concrete jungle, why not on our farms?

 

 Warm Regards
