Ah, one acre of Bt cotton? The packet cost is ₹2,500, they promise 8-10 quintals yield, and with market prices, you might dream of ₹50,000 profit. But that ledger is for a perfect year. In a pink bollworm year, like last season in our fields, the Bt becomes helpless, the yield falls to 3-4 quintals, and the profit column drowns in red ink. I know because my father’s hopeful calculations on the back of a fertilizer bag were erased by the sight of us, plucking ruined cotton balls until our fingers bled.
