The research challenge
Emerging pests and diseases threaten cotton production. The proposed focus is integrated management that considers effectiveness, cost and environmental responsibility.
Proposed research priorities
- Integrated management of insects, diseases and weeds
- Evaluation of safer and economical approaches
- Researcher, extension and farmer knowledge exchange
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.
