Enabling Mechanization

Technologies in support of technology…


Agrochemicals:

…for Plant Growth Regulation, uniform Boll Opening and Leave Shedding

Existing practice in the US, Brazil, Australia, etc.; Technology being transfered to India

Breeding:

Adoption of plant architecture and characteristics

Bayer CropScience agrochemical

applied through Drip Irrigation


Two highly efficient technologies in combination to tackle

water scarcity, provide security and optimize land use:

• Best possible use of

water

• Targeted administration

of chemical

• High impact towards

sustainability

(under development, in

partnership)

GM technologies







Ex.: Molecular Breeding and Diversity


Wild Cotton

Germplasm

Landrace

Germplasm

Elite

Germplasm

Valuable genes are hidden in wild and landrace germplasm, but were left behind

because of „trouble genes“ coming along

Markers can help separate „useful“ from „problematic“, thus adding value genes to

Elite germplasm, increasing diversity

Other potential targets:

In summary


• Clear need to work towards increased

competitiveness of cotton

• Technology needs high investment, so it

has to be applied in a focused and

creative manner

• BCS is a market leader, with a

comprehensive portfolio of present and

future technologies

Closing remarks


There are certainly more technologies of

different kinds from the private and public

sector which have not been mentioned

here. They all may offer opportunities.

In any case, meeting the challenges for the

cotton / textile chain requires a bundle of

different technologies and pro – active

cooperation between all the players.
