Analysis of Mealybug attack using Agri Decision Support System (ADSS)

Dear colleagues and friends:

The emergence of Mealy bug as a cotton pest in Pakistan has taken many by surprise. However, there are not many studies using recent field data that can identify the varieties at risk, most effective pesticide groups, effect of weather etc.

The Agriculture Decision Support System (ADSS) developed at the FAST National University Islamabad and funded by the National ICT R&D Fund is geared to answer these questions; and more. The ADSS research report on Mealybug is freely available online, and can be
downloaded by visiting www.agroict.org

The following media sources can shed a brighter light upon this issue.
