Reducing pesticide use a key challenge for cotton research
Cotton farmers are often accused of overusing pesticides, but they sometimes do not have access to enough information on alter-native methods to improve their daily cropping practices and thus reduce some pest damage to their crops. CIRAD is conducting development-oriented research to benefit African cotton smallholders-through participative methods, scientists and farmers are implementing a range of agricultural practices to enhance sustainable pest management.
