Cotton growers hit hard in Tiruchi and Perambalur districts due to poor rain and higher incidence of disease damaging the crops. A new disease had hit cotton crops in the region and Bt cotton growers had suffered severe loss due to the disease. They have not witnessed such disease in the past and the State government should conduct an exclusive study on Bt cotton and evolve remedial measure, said S.
