The effects of two entomopathogenic fungal endophytes, Beauveria bassiana and Purpureocillium lilacinum (formerly Paecilomyces lilacinus), were assessed on the reproduction of cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera:Aphididae), through in planta feeding trials. In replicate greenhouse and field trials, cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum) were inoculated as seed treatments with two concent...

INTRODUCTION: The African continent offers a wide diversity of approaches to cotton sector organization. This has led to recurrent debates about the relative strengths and weaknesses of different forms of organization. Experience has shown that the structure of the markets in which farmers sell their seed cotton has a strong influence on how other activities in the sector are organized (e.g., i...

A study was made in those region that expose major area of machine learning techniques which available in data mining. There are lots of Research work is analysized in agriculture field. It is a smart techniques is needed to find the resolution over the modern method. Cotton is an significant beneficial harvest and extensively traded commodity across the world. Its yield is insightful to weathe...

The components of lint yield in cotton are the number of plants per acre, the number of bolls per plant, the number of seeds per boll, and the number of fibers per seed. This list may be reduced to the two essential components, i.e., the number of seeds per acre and the weight of fiber per seed. A great deal of attention has been paid to the first factor but the weight of fiber per seed has bee...

BACKGROUND Farm workers and female cotton pickers are exposed to residual impacts of pesticide use in cotton production, in addition to dust, ultraviolet radiation, etc. Cotton picking causes various health hazards among cotton pickers with varied health cost. A soil bacterium known as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is incorporated in cotton seed through genetic modification and it has resistance ...

Abstract Background Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) is grown for fiber and oil purposes in tropical sub-tropical areas of the world. Pakistan 4th largest producer cotton. It has a significant contribution GDP Pakistan. Therefore, present study was performed to assess genetic variations diversity yield quality traits cotton analyze associations among them. Results Analysis variance exhibited var...

National survey data collected for 1997 in USDA’s Agricultural Resource Management Study was used to derive implications and pose hypotheses about the impact on pesticide use, production practices, and producer costs of using genetically modified (GM) seed in soybean and cotton production. Results of the analysis suggest concurrence with scientific and industry claims about the environmental qu...
