New Developments In Cotton Technologies

摘要

Several new developments are likely to occur in the cotton industry during the next decade. Obviously, the impacts of emerging technologies will vary among regions of the world. However, any new development will somehow impact most cotton-growing areas. To gain a broader perspective, I have consulted experts in various disciplines for assistance. Since many of these new technologies in cotton are either directly or indirectly associated with transgenic cotton and cotton breeding, I will first discuss aspects concerning these two areas, then I will attempt to catalog technologies within several other disciplines.
