The research challenge
Digital tools can help connect observations with timely decisions. ICRC proposes research into the use of data, sensors and digital services that are practical for cotton-growing environments.
Proposed research priorities
- Remote sensing, GIS and crop modelling
- Decision-support and digital advisory systems
- Smart irrigation and precision input application
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.
