EMERGING PEST PROBLEM(Cotton Mealybug)

Research Studies Biology / phenology of the pest studied Identified natural enemies (predators and parasitoids)Obtained exotic predator Cryptolaemus from USA.Biology of local predators and parasitoids studiedScreening of effective chemicals for the control of mealybug

Cryptolaemus montrouzeiri (imported from California) Eats about 250 mealybug per day

Mummified MealybugsAdult StageAenasius sp. : A Parasitoid of Mealybug

Bed-furrow PlantingTechnique

Weed ManagementChemical weed control.Screening of weedicide (Pre- and Post-emergence).Method of application.

Drip IrrigationSaving of irrigation water.Labour intensive for weed management.Not fit for silt loam and clay loam soils.

Plant ProtectionInsecticide resistance managementIntegrated pest management Pest scouting technique Determination of ETLs Biological control of pests (Mealybug) Insecticide application (dose, time)

Physiological StudiesScreening of breeding material for heat tolerance on the basis of physiological parameters.Adaptability of genotypes to water stress conditions.

Cotton Promotion in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and BalochistanEstablishment of research stations at D.I. Khan and Sibbi.Seed and farm implements supplied at subsidized rates to the growers (under PSDP Projects). Training of farmers and extension staff.

Justifications for enhancement in Cotton Cess Rate

To allocate more funds for cotton research and development activities.To meet the increasing budgetary needs for salary and pension.Establishment of latest technological capacities (Bio-technology).Less availability of funds from PSDP

Decision of The Governing Body of PCCC on 13-12-2010It IIt was agreed to increase Cess rate from Rs.20 per bale to Rs. 50 per bale with the consensus of all the stakeholders including APTMA and KCA
