Abstract

Strategies for the implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) of cotton differ significantly depending on the agroecosystem and incidence of pests. Examples of successful IPM programmes from different countries, including those which involve insecticide treatments, are given in contrast to cases of inappropriate use of insecticides leading to pest resistance and crop failure. Inter-disciplinary research and farmer participation on a regional basis is necessary if IPM is to be implemented successfully.
