- The government is promoting Herbicide-tolerant BT (HTBT) cotton to reduce the use of herbicide 'glyphosate'.
- 'Glyphosate' is designed to kill all plants coming into contact with it, the chemical cannot ordinarily distinguish between crop and weed.

- The HTBt cotton variant adds another layer of modification, making the plant resistant to the herbicide glyphosate.
