The GM (<a href="/wiki/Genetic_engineering" title="Genetic engineering">genetically modified</a>) seeds he focused on were introduced to combat pests and low yields. Within 10 years, GM cottonseeds, which are solely bred by private breeders, were able to capture more than 90% of the Indian market, which was formerly a public market. The <a href="/wiki/Privatisation" class="mw-redirect" title="Privatisation">privatisation</a> of seed brands in formerly public markets has been accompanied by <a href="/wiki/Pesticide" title="Pesticide">pesticides</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fertiliser" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertiliser">fertilisers</a>, consultations, and <a href="/wiki/Herbicide" title="Herbicide">herbicides</a> which are needed to manage the new <a href="/wiki/Monoculture" title="Monoculture">monocultures</a>. He found that this introduction, however, negatively impacted farmers’ ecological knowledge about seed choices and cotton-plant management.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_85-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Flachs surveyed farming households about their experiences with GM hybrid cottonseeds from 2012 to 2016. His research initially focused on the agricultural <a href="/wiki/Decision-making" title="Decision-making">decision-making process</a> among Telangana cotton farmers in the wake of genetically modified seed market expansion, then later on the concept of <i>manci digubadi</i> as a script. <i>Manci digubadi</i> means “good yields,” with a more extended phrasing being “<i>manci digubadi annakunthunnanu</i>,” which translates to “I’m hoping for good yields.” The concept of <i>manci digubadi,</i> as described by Flachs, posits that seed choice should be made based on whether or not it has “good yields,”  which is dependent solely on what the individual believes is “good.” Flachs further argues that this script is used in the absence of reliable experiential knowledge in the face of agricultural development and GMOs. This is because, in the pursuit of a good yield, cotton farmers learn little about the seeds they use before they switch to the next promising new brands, some of which have been <a href="/wiki/Smuggling" title="Smuggling">smuggled</a> in or bought on the <a href="/wiki/Black_market" title="Black market">black market</a>. Marketing, the constant influx of new options, and the fear of missing out on popular seeds also contribute to the high turnover. This high turnover and the resulting lack of experiential knowledge have resulted in cotton farmers unwittingly planting the same type of seed multiple times because they are under different brand names. In contrast to this, farmers adopt and abandon seeds from <a href="/wiki/Public_sector" title="Public sector">public-sector</a>-bred crops like rice and <a href="/wiki/Heirloom_plant" title="Heirloom plant">heirloom vegetables</a> more slowly so they can rely more on experiential knowledge to make decisions.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_85-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Telangana cotton farmers are at risk for debt and suicide caused by agricultural pressures such as unreliable credit, pest problems, and agricultural management uncertainty. Flachs argues that seed choices and the rationalisation behind the choice are central to the agricultural political economy, as seed choice is “the first decision that cotton farmers make and one that they cannot take back.”<sup id="cite_ref-:1_85-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Flachs argues that cotton seed choices are driven less by <a href="/wiki/Economic_rationalism" title="Economic rationalism">economic rationalism</a> and more by an aspiration to overcome generational poverty and historical <a href="/wiki/Social_exclusion" title="Social exclusion">marginalisation</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_85-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Flachs found evidence in his work suggesting that many farmers' seed choices are influenced by the choices of their neighbours or more wealthy landowners. As an example of <i>manci digubadi</i> being used in place of experiential knowledge, Flachs gives the story of a farmer who had planted the Mahyco company’s Neeraja cottonseed for nine years abandoned that seed in favour of Kaveri’s Jaadoo seed after hearing reports that the Jaadoo seeds had done well in a neighbouring village. Farmers also seek advice from non-household experts such as pesticide shop managers and university extension agents. There is no objective <a href="/wiki/Cost%E2%80%93benefit_analysis" title="Cost–benefit analysis">cost-benefit analysis</a> because the costs and benefits are ambiguous due to things variations of factors like weather and pests and farmers having no reliable measure for what constitutes a good yield for cotton.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_85-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Industries">Industries</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Telangana&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Industries"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Software_industry_in_Telangana" title="Software industry in Telangana">Software industry in Telangana</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:MindSpace_campus_in_Hyderabad,_India.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/MindSpace_campus_in_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg/220px-MindSpace_campus_in_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/MindSpace_campus_in_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg/330px-MindSpace_campus_in_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/MindSpace_campus_in_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg/440px-MindSpace_campus_in_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="768" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/HITEC_City" title="HITEC City">HITEC City</a> is a major IT hub of Hyderabad</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:JP_Morgan_Tower,_Hyderabad,_India.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/JP_Morgan_Tower%2C_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg/220px-JP_Morgan_Tower%2C_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/JP_Morgan_Tower%2C_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg/330px-JP_Morgan_Tower%2C_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/JP_Morgan_Tower%2C_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg/440px-JP_Morgan_Tower%2C_Hyderabad%2C_India.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3456" data-file-height="4608" /></a><figcaption>JP Morgan Chase & Co.
