The research challenge
Heat, drought and unpredictable rainfall are central challenges for cotton-producing regions. The proposed research direction brings variety evaluation and crop management together to support adaptation.
Proposed research priorities
- Heat and drought tolerance
- Responses to changing rainfall and water availability
- Production practices that manage climate-related risks
From evidence to practical use
The proposed approach combines collaborative research, testing, validation, demonstration and capacity building. Technologies would be evaluated under relevant field conditions before wider dissemination.
Working together
ICRC seeks to connect national research systems, universities, extension organisations, farmers and industry around this research priority. Specific projects, teams and results will be published when confirmed.
