• Cotton is the major crop for Indian farmers but the ordinary cotton plants attacked by the cotton ball worms.
• Bt cotton has overcome this disease and give miraculous crop yields in the cultivation of Bt cotton.
• Bt cotton is pest-resistant. Bt gene is isolated and transferred from a bacteria bacillus thurigiensis.
