Cotton, which contributes billions to the United States’ economy, faces escalating threats from climate change-induced droughts. Cotton growers urgently need water management strategies to maximize productivity while minimizing water use. University of Georgia researchers are developing cotton-based precision irrigation scheduling strategies to ensure optimal water use to improve water use efficiency, ensure yield stability and enhance economic productivity.

Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) is a highly contagious plant virus that causes crop losses worldwide. INSV is transmitted by tiny insects that feed on plants and can spread the virus as they move from plant to plant. While the virus affects a wide range of crops, it is currently threatening lettuce production. Led by Dr. Richard Michelmore, UC Davis researchers are identifying and deploying multiple genes for resistance to increase durability and slow the evolution and spread of resistance-breaking strains of INSV.
