Star 200 Home Star 200 Search Cotton is fading in Arizona, but other crops show growth Jack W.Sheaffer, 1958 Star photo Four decades ago, the cotton harvest in Marana went on night and day, but that field could well be under a housing development or shopping center these days. Longtime Star photographer Jack W. Sheaffer, who died last week, chronicled the lives of Southern Arizonans for many years. By Sara Hammond The Arizona Daily Star Cotton production and land devoted to growing the crop in Southern Arizona are at their lowest levels since 1980. Cotton's future role in the state's economy appears stagnant. But as cotton declines, other agricultural efforts are burgeoning in the region. Produce, fruits and nuts may never have the impact of cotton, but they have a growing role to play in Southern Arizona's economy. In 1998, just 250,000 acres were devoted to cotton statewide, historically one of Arizona's economic staples. The state ranks eighth nationally in cotton, growing about 5 percent of the country's production. According to the National Cotton Council, Arizona's cotton production will decrease in 1999. Growers intend to plant 245,000 acres of upland cotton, a 2 percent decline. Acreage devoted to extra long staple, also called Pima cotton, also is expected to decline this year.

Fiscal Notes November 2003 State's top cash crop weathers tough year Cotton Country For Texas cotton growers, 2003 was the best of times and it was the worst of times. Growers in parts of the state battled droughts, heavy rains and hail, which devastated some crops and dropped yields to record lows. Other growers, including those in the southern part of the state around Corpus Christi, found near-perfect conditions for growing cotton and reported all-time high yields. While final 2003 production figures won't be available until 2004, Texas agriculture officials estimate that statewide cotton production from 2003 will reach 4 million bales, 21 percent less than 2002, according to an October report from the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service (TASS). Yields for 2003 are expected to average 436 pounds per acre, down from 538 pounds per acre in 2002. Droughts, hail and poor weather conditions wiped out about 1 million of the 5.6 million acres of cotton planted in 2003, said Jerry Ramirez, crops group leader for the TASS. "They've [cotton growers] gotten a mixed bag," Ramirez said. "If you look at South Texas they've had a real good year. Central Texas has had a pretty good year. Up in the High Plains, it's not so good. They've had damage and losses due to drought and due to hail and rain."

46. Factsheet: Genetically Modified Crops In The United States GM food crops grown by US farmers include corn, cotton, soybeans, canola, While GM cotton increased its share of the total cotton crop planted in the US http://pewagbiotech.org/resources/factsheets/crops/

August, 2004 Genetically Modified Crops in the United States Genetically modified food and agricultural biotechnology have generated considerable interest and controversy in the United States and around the world. Some tout the technology's benefits while others raise questions about environmental and food safety issues. This paper provides background information regarding the adoption of genetically modified plants among domestic and international farms and is one in a series that the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology has developed to address common questions that are frequently asked about genetically modified food and agricultural biotechnology. Crop varieties developed by genetic engineering were first introduced for commercial production in 1996. Today, these crops are planted on more than 167 million acres worldwide. U.S. farmers are by far the largest producers of genetically modified (GM) crops. In addition to summarizing the extent to which GM crops have been adopted in the United States compared to other countries, this factsheet also shows which GM crops U.S. farmers grow and which states plant the most GM varieties. Recent innovations in biotechnology allow scientists to select specific genes from one organism and introduce them into another to confer a desired trait. This technology can be used to produce new varieties of plants or animals more quickly than conventional breeding methods and to introduce traits not possible through traditional techniques. The principal agricultural biotechnology products marketed to date have been genetically modified crops engineered to tolerate herbicides and/or resist pests. Crops carrying herbicide-tolerant genes were developed so that farmers could spray their fields to eliminate weeds without damaging the crop. Likewise, pest-resistant crops have been engineered to contain a gene for a protein from the soil bacterium

ABARE executive director Dr Brian Fisher said on Monday that the main irrigated southern summer crops of cotton and rice would face major cuts because of the lack of water. "The area sown to cotton is estimated to be down 45 percent from last season, while the rice area has been cut back by nearly 70 percent," Fisher said. Much of Australia has been in the grip of a drought for the past 12 months, prompting the government last week to slice 0.75 percentage points from its economic growth forecast for 2002-03. Citing a sharp drop in rural output plus global economic uncertainty, Australian Treasurer Peter Costello said last Wednesday that growth in the year to next June would fall to 3.0 percent, down from its 3.75 percent forecast six months earlier.

Departments of Plant Pathology and Entomology North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service North Carolina State University FIELD AND FORAGE CROPS North Carolina Pest News Volume 11, Number 16, August 2, 1996 Stephen J. Toth, Jr. and Thomas A. Melton, editors The information and recommendations in this newsletter are applicable to North Carolina and may not apply in other areas. From: Jack S. Bacheler, Extension Entomologist Progress of Bollworm Moth Flight in Cotton The major bollworm is now occurring throughout North Carolina, with light trap captures quite variable. Despite counts in a number of traps dropping significantly in the past week, the bollworm flight peaks have not necessarily been reached, as evidenced by a few counties where counts dropped but resurged. For example, light trap counts in Northampton and Halifax Counties had increased modestly on August 2 to the 12 to 87 range for a two night catch, while the Sampson County trap count increased from a July 31 low of 300 bollworm moths to the alarming count of 2,325 moths on August 2. Egg counts in a number of areas across the state are very high; 50 to 100 or even 200 bollworm eggs (primarily bollworm, but also some budworm) per 100 terminals are common. Many cotton fields in need of treatment with insecticide are presently impossible to negotiate with ground equipment. This is still in a critical time period for protecting the cotton crop. A high pyrethroid rate is probably warranted in areas where: 1) treatment delays have or will occur; 2) large numbers of eggs are present prior to the first application; 3) larval thresholds are exceeded 1.5 to 2-fold after the initial application(s); 4) cotton is

59. Update On The 2002 Arizona Cotton Crop (ACIS) This is an Update on the 2002 Arizona cotton Crop , one of a series of cotton production articles written by the University of Arizona s cotton extension http://cals.arizona.edu/crops/cotton/comments/july2002cc.html

Update on the 2002 Arizona Cotton Crop by Jeffrey C. Silvertooth, According to recent USDA reports, 238,000 acres have been planted to cotton in Arizona in 2002. This represents a decline of ~20.3% in Upland (to 230,000) and ~3.8% in Pima (to 8,000) compared to 2001. The same USDA reports indicate that ~14.4 million acres have been planted to cotton in the U.S. in 2002, which is 8.6% less than 2001. Considering the recent cotton markets and the overall agricultural economy, that still is a lot of cotton acreage in the U.S. and a testimony to the resiliency of the cotton industry. The recent passage of the new U.S. Farm Bill has certainly had an impact on the acres planted to cotton as well. Figure 1 The 2002 Arizona crop is developing very well, at least at this time. Overall, fruit retention levels have been very high across the State, and progress through the fruiting cycle has been right on track in relation to expected benchmarks associated with heat unit accumulations after planting (HUAP, 86/55 oF thresholds). The hot and dry conditions have actually been conducive to good crop develop, as long as adequate irrigation water is provided in a timely manner. This has probably been one of the most challenging aspects of managing the 2002 crop thus far. A large proportion of the Arizona crop is either at or close to the peak bloom stage of growth. This is a vulnerable period in crop development with a large percentage of the yield potential on the plant and the plant itself at an optimum point in terms of physiological capacity and demand.

60. Progress Of The 2000 Arizona Cotton Crop (ACIS) This is a document on the Progress of the 2000 Arizona cotton Crop, one of a series of cotton production articles written by the University of Arizona s http://cals.arizona.edu/crops/cotton/comments/sept2000cc.html

Progress of the 2000 Arizona Cotton Crop by Jeffrey C. Silvertooth, Extension Agronomist - Cotton As we progress into the later stages of the 2000 season, the Arizona cotton crop continues to hold the prospects of a very good yield potential overall. As stated in an earlier article ( July 2000 ), this has been perhaps one of the best seasons in recent years in terms of planting, stand establishment, early crop growth, and season-long development. The spring and early summer weather was very cooperative for developing plants with strong early season vigor and good fruit retention across the state. This has resulted in a very uniform fruit load on the plants in many fields. We are also noting a high degree of crop earliness. Based on plant mapping data from many sites across the state, these points are true for many areas. Yield potentials appear to be very promising, and I believe conditions were conducive to the development of good fiber properties. This is particularly true for the micronaire factors the Arizona cotton industry has had difficulties with in recent years. Discounts associated with high micronaire fiber in Arizona have been estimated to have cost the growers $15 to $25 million per year over the past five to six years. Many of us believe that a uniform fruit load and early maturity can be important factors in limiting the development of high micronaire fiber.
