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
studied
Screening of effective chemicals for the
control of mealybug

Cryptolaemus montrouzeiri

Bed-furrow Planting
Technique

Weed Management
Chemical weed control.
Screening of weedicide (Preand Post-emergence).
Method of application.

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

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

Physiological Studies
Screening 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 Balochistan
Establishment 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 13-12-2010
It IIt

was agreed to increase Cess

rate from Rs.20 per bale to Rs.
50 per bale with the consensus of
all the stakeholde s including
APTMA and KCA
