Abstract
In the recent past, leaf reddening has been a major problem in Bt-cotton and this is an outcome of interaction of location, variety, environmental condition and nutrients. In general, inter and intra specific tetraploid Bt hybrids are more sensitive and vulnerable to this malady may be because of Bt gene interaction. Leaf reddening may occur at any growth stage of the crop. At grand growth phase (flowering and boll development) any hindrance in the assimilate production, translocation and distribution intensifies the leaf reddening effect and symptoms are prolific in nature under extreme stress situations (Poongothai et al., 2010).
