The Ministry of Agri­culture, Livestock and Ir­rigation issued a warning for cotton farmers and cotton seed sellers to comply with regulations.

Only high-yielding quality F1 hybrid cotton seeds must be distribut­ed. The F2 seeds obtained from harvesting F1 crops must not be distributed. Farmers are also ad­vised not to use F2 hy­brid seeds for replanting, and awareness efforts have been carried out among cotton farmers. F2 hybrid seeds will not yield some crops, and the Seed Law 2015 also pro­hibits the sale of seeds that are not registered. Thus, cottonseed sellers and farmers are advised not to distribute, sell, or use F2 hybrid seeds for cultivation. — NN/KK
