Garlic-Cotton Intercropping Technology
Intercropping cotton with garlic is a profitable alternative to garlic or cotton monocropping system. The technology increases the income that farmers can derive from a single piece of land. Intercropping, likewise, maximizes the utilization of available nutrients in the soil.
Cotton-Legume Intercropping Technology
Intercropping cotton with legumes is a profitable alternate technology for cotton monocropping system. This technology ensures higher productivity per unit area. Legumes that could be intercropped are peanuts, mungbean and cowpea. Legumes also contribute to soil fertility being a legume crop.
Chemical control is costly and hazardous to humans, animals, and the environment. In cotton production about 42% of the total cost is spent for inorganic pesticides. While this method of controlling pests is effective, it should be used judiciously considering the harm it can cause. For efficiency and effectiveness, proper spray application is cardinal. Farmers should follow the spray application technology to avoid risks, minimize expenses, and more importantly, save the environment.
Mga Gabay sa Masaganang Pagtatanim ng Bulak
Written in Filipino, this easy reading booklet provides cotton farmers the prescribed farm operations from planting to harvesting. Enhanced with pictures, the booklet serves as good reference for a successful cotton production. (Available at CODA Head Office as printed material)
Minimum Tillage Technology
Minimum tillage is an alternative to the conventional method of land preparation. The technology allows farmers to catch-up with the prescribed planting dates for cotton in areas where the base crop-rice is harvested late. Besides, planting under a minimum tillage is less expensive that the conventional way of preparing the field.
Trichogramma: Biological Control for Cotton Bollworm
Cotton bollworm is probably
the most destructive of all cotton pests. If left uncontrolled, bollworms
could wipe out the entire cotton bolls. Controlling bollworm by chemical
alone is costly in addition to the hazards to man and the environment.
Trichogramma, tricons for short, integrated with chemical is recommended
whenever possible because it parasitizes eggs of bollworm. Its use reduces
the chemical sprays and also preserved other natural enemies. This technoguide
presents the step-by-step procedure from mass rearing of the parasite
up to its utilization.
