"We have asked all district collectors to take steps to procure BT cotton reaching markets. We plan to procure BT cotton to the extent possible," P.K Ghosh, principal secretary Forests and Environment in Gujarat, told Reuters. The government has already procured about 120 tonnes of bacillus thuringiensis (BT) cotton, he said. Earlier this month, several hundred farmers in Gujarat, the country's largest cotton growing state, were ordered to hand over genetically modified (GM) cotton crops to the government because commercial production of GM crops is illegal. The discovery of illegal growing of BT cotton had triggered a nation-wide debate among environmentalists and pro-farmer lobbies about the government's stand on commercialisation of GM crops.

   Extractions: Bean said growers might consider one of several crop alternatives following cotton, such as sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, or dry beans. "Producers who are thinking about sorghum may have some difficulty in locating seed due to the unusually short seed supply this year," he said. Hybrid selection for late planted sorghum is an important consideration. "Sorghum planting may range from late April to early July, depending on the maturity class of the hybrid," Bean noted. In general, a medium- to full-season hybrid should not be planted after June 15. The cutoff date for a medium-maturity hybrid would be June 20 through June 30, while short season hybrids could be planted up to July 10, depending upon the hybrid and how far south in the Panhandle or South Plains the field is located. "Before planting any hybrid, be sure to check with the seed company for the recommended planting date for that particular hybrid," Bean advises. He said a list of major sorghum hybrids and their maturity class is available at local county extension offices along with recent variety trial data.

Photos by Matin Qaim Genetically modified cotton crops produced greater yields, reduced pesticide use in India By Sarah Yang, Media Relations 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.

   Extractions: SMH Home Text-only index Date: June 10 2002 Scientists are embroiled in an international row over genetically modified cotton after a study in China suggested for the first time that the crop was permanently damaging the environment and that insects were building up resistance to it. The study by the Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences, part of the Chinese Government's environmental protection administration, draws together laboratory and field work undertaken by four scientific institutions in China. It suggests that GM cotton, which incorporates a gene isolated from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), harms the natural parasitic enemies of the cotton bollworm, the pest that it is designed to control. It also indicates that populations of pests other than cotton bollworm had increased in Bt cotton fields and some had replaced it as primary pests. However, the leading GM company Monsanto, which controls more than 80 per cent of Bt cotton grown worldwide, dismissed the research. The industry has always cited GM cotton as its biggest success, because it can increase yields by up to 60 per cent and reduce the need for pesticides by 80 per cent. But worryingly for the industry, the scientists found that the resistance of Bt cotton to bollworm decreased significantly over time. GM cotton, they said, will require increasing amounts of traditional chemicals to control pests within a few years.

    Extractions: Silverleaf Whitefly detected on cotton crops 4th Feb 2001 Queensland Department of Primary Industries cotton development extension officer, David Kelly, Emerald, who works in conjunction with the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre, said all Emerald Irrigation Area growers would have to work together to adopt an integrated approach to manage this serious pest. Mr Kelly said silverleaf whitefly was a major pest of many crops throughout the world including cotton, soybean and melon crops. Mr Kelly said whitefly populations were influenced by climate, crop sequence and management strategies. Experience in other countries had shown that non-strategic insecticide use had led to a speedy development of whitefly insecticide resistance. Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre scientists had recently discussed research priorities to manage the pest. A major research effort would be undertaken this autumn to investigate optimum management options. Mr Kelly said the Cotton Research and Development Corporation had been able to secure two emergency use permits for insecticide products to control whitefly. Investigations were continuing to determine whether further permits would be available.

    Extractions: home page Local News Sugar cane, cotton crops take $500 million hit Associated Press Facing as much as $500 million in damage to their crops from Tropical Storm Isidore and Hurricane Lili, Louisiana's sugar cane and cotton farmers face the prospect of no federal aid to help them recoup. A crop disaster aid bill is bottled up in Congress and state Agriculture Commissioner Bob Odom said farmers can only apply now for low-interest business loans that will not make up for their losses. "There is nothing now but low-interest disaster loans, which does no good for farmers strapped to the max with crop loans and other loans," Odom said. "You can't borrow yourself out of debt." Aaron Duhon, a Duson-based sugar cane farmer and president of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation, said Tuesday he fears many farmers will not recover. "I think we are going to lose a lot of our cane and grain farmers," he said.

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. 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. The farm sites contained three adjacent plots that measured 646 square meters each. One plot was planted with cotton bioengineered with a gene from the insecticidal bacterium
