Farmers typically spend significantly less on pesticides for Bt cotton compared to non-Bt varieties, primarily due to Bt cotton's inherent resistance to certain pests, particularly the cotton bollworm. On average, the reduction in pesticide costs can range from 30% to 50%, depending on regional pest pressures and farming practices. However, the exact amount spent can vary widely based on factors such as local agricultural practices, pest infestations, and market prices. Overall, the adoption of Bt cotton often leads to improved economic outcomes for farmers, including reduced pesticide expenditures.
