Abstract
In this chapter, an attempt has been made to examine economics of Bt cotton vis-à-vis non-Bt cotton by examining the relationship of various factors to the yield, value of output and profit of cotton cultivation reported by the sample farmer households. It includes average Bt and non-Bt cotton yields, cost of production, value of output and profit, and econometric analysis of the performance of Bt cotton vs. non-Bt cotton.
