Answer 2

Explanation:

The paradox The cotton revolution brought about by the so-called pirated Bt cotton was developed in Gujarat. Down To Earth's investigations have earlier found that Navbharat-151, the miracle seeds, being widely grown across the northern and western states in India.The banned variety of Navbharat-151 and variants thereof has benefited the Gujarat farmers' income by Rs 5,000 crore, says J V Shah, former managing director, Gujarat State Seeds Corporation.

But such developments have happened where there is enough irrigation and where non-fake pirated Bt is available, for example, Gujarat, Punjab and Haryana. With 99 per cent of agricultural land irrigated in Punjab and Haryana and over 70 per cent irrigation in Gujarat, the states also have the right mix of conditions. Bt cotton requires at least three times more water than non-Bt cotton and the price of pirated and non-fake Bt is at least one-fourth, or even less than that of legal Bt cotton.
