The Genetic Modification (GM) of crops such as COTTON. Read some articles on the topic in our links area and TASK 2 and then post your two cents worth! How are you going to vote? From: Adviser Chris Subject: re: Cotton Crops - GM vs Non-GM.... discuss post id: 13 The GM Vs Non-GM variety is more than just chosing a variety, it is also setting the scene for the type of insect control that will be required. The GM or Ingard cotton variety contains genes from a soil borne bacteria which makes the cotton plant resistant to the main insect pest, the Heliothis caterpiller. This means that the Ingard cotton is really suited to using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control the insect pests; as opposed to just relying on chemical insecticides. When farmers are using IPM they can rely on plant resistance (like in GM cotton), beneficial insects and softer chemicals that are less toxic and safer for the environment. I do a lot of work benchmarking cotton growers production systems and growers who use IPM (especially with GM Ingard cotton) can grow the same yields, have lower insect control costs and use much less insecticide (sometimes none) than growers who don't use IPM.

24. Cotton Crops Rise cotton crops Rise in Importance for Farmers RALEIGH An increase in cotton acreagein 1999 highlights the importance this crop represents to North Carolina’s http://www.ncfb.com/daily/cotton_crops_rise.htm

NCFB Home Cotton Crops Rise in Importance for Farmers Cotton production for 1999 is forecast at 1.2 million bales and, if realized, will surpass the record production level set in 1926. "The eradication of one of cotton’s worst pests, the boll weevil, has contributed significantly to the rebound and growth of the cotton industry in recent years," Ag Commissioner Jim Graham said. "It has made a difference for farmers and consumers." Crop diversity is foremost in the minds of many farmers who are suffering financially due to the 35 percent slash in tobacco quotas over the past two years and hog prices which recently hit an all time low. Tobacco and hogs have historically provided growers with steady incomes when other commodity prices have been low. "The cotton industry is vital to North Carolina’s agriculture," Graham added. "This year’s rise in cotton production reflects North Carolina’s agricultural diversity." North Carolina ranked sixth in the nation in cotton production in 1997. Only Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, California and Arkansas outproduced the state. Last modified: November 01, 1999

Genetically Modified Crops In India Produced Greater Yields, Reduced Pesticide U Results of farm trials in India showed that the average yields for geneticallymodified cotton crops were 80 percent greater than nonbioengineered crops. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-02/uoc--gmc020303.php

Public release date: 6-Feb-2003 Contact: Sarah Yang scy@pa.urel.berkeley.edu University of California - Berkeley Genetically modified crops in India produced greater yields, reduced pesticide use, new study finds Berkeley - Cotton crops in India that were genetically modified to resist insects produced dramatically increased yields and significantly reduced pesticide use compared with non-bioengineered crops, according to the results of farm trials reported by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Bonn in Germany. The study, published Friday, Feb. 7, in the journal Science, holds particular promise for small-scale, low-income farmers in developing nations, said the researchers. These farmers, especially those in tropical regions, regularly risk large, pest-related crop losses because they cannot afford to use the pesticides available to larger farms. "Many critics have questioned whether genetically modified crops would be economically and environmentally beneficial to farmers in developing countries," said David Zilberman, UC Berkeley professor of agricultural and resource economics and co-author of the study. "Our research indicates that transgenic crops should be a viable option. This is the first paper to show such a substantial increase in yield for bioengineered crops." The researchers reported the results of field trials conducted on 157 farms in three major cotton-producing states in India during the seven-month cotton season that began in June 2001. The field trials were initiated by the Maharashtra Hybrid Seed Company (Mahyco), which has been studying Bt hybrids in India since 1997.

IPM Grants 1997 The IPM grant projects awarded for 1997: Using Natural Pest Enemies in Cotton Developing an IPM Cotton Video - The project will develop a video to teach farmers on how to properly monitor cotton crops for pests. Crop monitoring is a basic tenet of any IPM program. Farmers who fail to detect pests could lose their crops or they can make costly mistakes if they treat fields unnecessarily for pests that haven't reach economically damaging levels. The principal investigator is Christopher Sansone, an assistant professor and extension entomologist in San Angelo. Controlling Weeds in Cotton Cotton Pest Management Software Program - The project will complete, test and demonstrate a "Windows" data management software program for use in the Texas Cotton Integrated Pest Management Program. Users will enter counts of major and minor cotton pests, pest damage, beneficial pest numbers, plant growth stages and other information to determine their crop management strategies. The principal investigator is Raymond Huffman, an IPM extension agent in Robstown.

Almonds Apples Avocados Bananas ... Turf Click on an item below The Foliar Potassium Solution For Cotton The Nitrogen Solution For Cotton Crops The Phosphorous Solution For Cotton Crops The Zinc Solution For Cotton Crops The Foliar Potassium Solution For Cotton LIG-K + BORON Potassium is required for boll filling and low potassium levels after flowering induce premature senescence that significantly reduces yield. Potassium deficiency inhibits the formation of proteins and causes an accumulation of soluble nitrogen compounds that may reduce fibre quality. Plants with good levels of potassium are also more tolerant of moisture stress, and this is advantageous for calcium and boron uptake. The inclusion of boron also improves flowering and fibre length. Deficiencies are most likely to occur when soil temperatures are low or when soils are waterlogged. Large amounts of soil available nitrogen also inhibit potassium uptake THE ADVANTAGES OF LIG-K + BORON APPLICATION Cotton – Apply 2 L/Ha prior to flowering and repeat after flowering if required.

Ethiopians living at high altitudes have apparently adapted to low oxygen levels differently than similar populations in the Andes and the Tibetan plateau. As altitude increases, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere decreases. With fewer oxygen molecules in every breath, a smaller percentage of red blood cells' hemoglobin actually carries oxygen. For travelers to high altitudes, such as mountain climbers, this can bring on potentially fatal altitude sickness. Populations indigenous to high altitudes, however, have adapted to the lower concentrations of oxygen. A well-studied Andean population has an elevated concentration of hemoglobin to compensate for the reduced oxygen carrying capacity. In contrast, hemoglobin concentration is not elevated in Tibetans, who are able to cope with low oxygen saturation. In PNAS this week

Search Tips Sunday, April 06, 2003 RMA Associate Administrator Adjusts Historical Cotton Loss in North Carolina Too little rain during the beginning of the growing season followed by too much rain at the end devastated the nation's cotton crops this year in many parts of the country. David C. Hatch, one of Risk Management Agency's (RMA) Associate Administrators, wanted to personally experience how the crop loss adjustments work. So Hatch joined Rain and Hail, L.L.C., a standard RMA reinsurance holder, for a visit to North Carolina cotton fields on November 18-19. Allen Hudson, Quality Cotton Gin representative, explains to Associate Administrator David C. Hatch, why the cotton in the gin appears gray. This year's cotton crops endured double jeopardy. Early drought followed by late flooding created what one farmer shared as his "worst year in 40 years of planting cotton." Typically, a field of cotton resembles fluffy white snow. What Hatch found in North Carolina did not look like snow. "There was very little white and lots of brown," said Hatch. "The weak condition of the stressed plants caused the brittle stems to break and splinter during harvest, turning what fluffy white cotton there was into a gray, matted, prickly mess for the gin to process." Rain and Hail staff adjuster, L.L. Thomas, counts the cotton locks and bolls with David Hatch.
