Research is needed for producing new resistant varieties of cotton as it is the most profitable crop in the country, Pakistan’s minister for national food security and research Sikandar Hayat Bosan said at a recent meeting in Lahore on cotton seed attended by federal secretaries, owners and representatives of private seed companies, and researchers.
The only option to increase per acre lint yield is by applying modern technology as sucking and chewing pests are damaging cotton crop in Pakistan regularly, Pakistani media reports quoted Bosan as saying. (DS)
