Overview

Demonstration study shows improved crop yields and reduced cultivation costs in Bt cotton farmers, highlighting the efficacy of community pest management.

Key Points

  • Community-based integrated pest management improved crop yield in Bt cotton while reducing cultivation costs, and demonstrated fields preserved beneficial natural enemies.
  • Critical inputs provided across three consecutive years to 30 farmers enabled regular monitoring using pheromone traps and curtailed pest damage.
  • Frontline demonstrations guided cotton farmers on economic threshold level evaluation for timing insecticides, highlighting environmental safety and pest control efficacy.
