"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.

Imagine it's late July in the U.S. Corn Belt. Somewhere, a 100-acre field of corn is pollinating, casting to the winds some 13 trillion pollen grains. To that vision add that farmers will plant some 18.4 million acres of genetically modified (GM) hybrids this year. Add in the tens of thousands of acres of such things as GM inbreds, parent lines and experimental plots. Welcome to the land of milk and "adventitious presence." That's the latest buzzword for what happens when pollen ends up where it's not supposed to be. It was called outcrossing by seed companies back when their biggest concern was farmer complaints that a field was not consistent in plant height or color. In the seed. In these post-StarLink days, unintended pollen shed can mean the bag of seed corn you planted has more traits than you may have paid for or wanted. There is growing concern that farmers may plant seed

8. Flooding Affects Rice And Cotton Crops In China Flooding Affects Rice and cotton crops in China. The most important fieldcrops affected by the Yangtze River flooding are rice and cotton. http://www.fas.usda.gov/pecad2/articles/chfld.htm

Flooding Affects Rice and Cotton Crops in China Excessive summer rainfall in central and southern China has led to serious flooding in the Yangtze River valley. Chinese officials have taken the drastic step of deliberately allowing farmland to be flooded in order to protect people and property downstream. The crops most likely affected by the flooding this year are early rice, late rice, and cotton. Flooding occurs in some part of central and southern China every summer, but the 1998 floods have been unusually widespread and long-lasting. The Government of China has been reluctant to quantify the impact of the flooding on rice and cotton production, and estimates by other analysts vary considerably. The U.S. agricultural counselor in Beijing is currently traveling through the North China Plain and central China to evaluate the impact of the flooding. China's Floods Worst Since 1954... Unusually heavy rain was reported in many areas of southern and central China this summer. According to official reports, this year's floods have surpassed the floods of 1954, still remembered as the worst in modern history. The two major rain events, in late-June and late-July/early-August, were separated by 2 to 3 weeks of dry weather. Some locations received more than 18 inches of rain during a three-day period in July. The runoff overwhelmed the dikes and flood-control facilities along the Yangtze River and resulted in what Chinese officials describe as the most serious flooding in decades, particularly in Hubei and Jiangxi Province. Rainfall has diminished, but water levels in lakes and rivers in central China remain very high. The start of the typhoon season in August brings the possibility of additional flooding. Plant diseases and pests reportedly have flourished in the hot, humid conditions this year and are expected to pose a greater-than-normal problem. The most important field crops affected by the Yangtze River flooding are rice and cotton. An estimated 50 percent of China's early-rice crop and 25 percent of China's cotton crop are grown in the affected provinces.

Home CottonCRC/Staff Weather/Tools Information Resources ... Search Publicat :: Challenging some myths: scientists examine the cotton crop and its water use Challenging some myths: scientists examine the cotton crop and its water use Constantly criticised as a 'heavy user' of water, the cotton crop in fact has turned out to have moderate water requirements and, in comparison to other agricultural industries, has a strong research base constantly improving water use efficiency. Dr Greg Constable, Director of the Cooperative Research Centre for Sustainable Cotton Production, says "the average evaporation in the Namoi valley is 8 mm per day over the summer period. This evaporation is driven by solar radiation, temparature and wind. Any summer crop will use that amount of water during active growth. "Differences between crops are due to season length: some crops grow for a longer time than others. For example, an early maturing grain sorghum variety will use less water than cotton because it grows for a shorter time. "It is grossly inaccurate to call cotton a heavy user of water. All crops will use water at the same rate" said Dr Constable.

Home CottonCRC/Staff Weather/Tools Information Resources ... Search Publicat :: Feast your eyes on this research breakthrough Feast your eyes on this research breakthrough There's been a buzz at the Australian Cotton Research Institute over past months over Dr. Robert Mensah's groundbreaking results with his Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program work involving the Envirofeast food spray and refugia within cotton fields. The excitement is mounting. Dr. Mensah has revealed that the CRDC and NSW Agriculture have nominated chemical company Rhone-Poulenc as the commercial partner in developing and marketing the Envirofeast food spray for agricultural use. Currently a technical officer from Rhone-Poulenc is being trained in the application of Envirofeast, which will also undergo several trials by the company before release. One problem Dr. Mensah had with the spray was that it was not rain-fast. He had experimented with adding oils to the spray but without success. It is expected that Rhone-Poulenc will enhance its staying power after rain. Use of the Envirofeast spray in conjunction with strips of lucerne planted as refugia within the cotton crop allows a reduction of chemical applications to a typical crop.

"On May 30, we had a massive hail storm here in Lubbock County, and we lost 100,000 acres of cotton production," said Mark Brown, Extension agent in Lubbock County. "There's still replanting going on from that, including replanting crops such as grain sorghum, soybeans and sunflowers." Floyd County lost about 10,000 acres of cotton in the southwest part of the county, according to Floyd County officials, with about 85,000 acres suffering damage from high winds, hail, static electricity and heavy rains. Some sunflower fields also were damaged in the storm, but not all of the fields were affected. Of the fields not damaged in the storm, some sunflowers are in bloom, Brown said.

Home TheEagle.com Aggiesports.com Subscribe ... Weather July 25, 2001 Strong cotton crops, weaker cotton prices By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL Eagle Staff Writer Dave McDermand Some dry-land cotton off FM50 has already opened, but the vast majority of cotton will not open until later in the season. But the rains could not have come at a better time for area cotton farmers. Easterwood Airport has received 5.67 inches of rain this month and the crops should benefit as the harvesting season grows closer. The normal rainfall for July is 1.41 inches. The majority of cotton farmers in the area have irrigated fields, which also helps the crops. Cotton farmers along the Gulf Coast and in South Texas were not so lucky. Farmers in those regions begin harvesting the crop in July, and the rains came too late for many of them. The Rio Grande Valley is expected to produce about half of its normal turnout and sections of the Gulf Coast will also be left hurting, Anderson said.

No rain is mentioned in short-term forecasts in the region. Long-range forecasts from the National Weather Service call for more above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation for the next two weeks. Brandon Anderson, Haskell County agricultural extension agent, said older cotton seems to be doing better than late-planted cotton. The farmers who waited until June to plant, in hopes of getting rain, need moisture to produce blooms and a late freeze so the cotton has time to mature.
