“…This production accounts for roughly 1/3 of the global natural textiles but it is threatened by several environmental limitations such as high water consumption and a high vulnerability to pests. 106,107 Furthermore, this cultivar is strongly sensitive to climate change; the threat is particularly strong in rain-dependent regions such as some parts of India. These figures show how little phytomass is currently available when compared to the past and they also demonstrate the growing importance of essential food crops in phytomass use, which should be a warning to the overuse of lignocelluloses in the form of non-essential items with planned or built-in obsolescence.…”

“…Shahzad et al (2019) recommended the sowing of cotton on 25 cm apart rows for the best fiber quality and more production. Apart from the sowing technique, cotton production was influenced by the incidence of pests, outbreak of diseases, weeds infestation, soil salinity, degradation of soil, and development of herbicides resistance in weeds were other agronomic reasons behind the low production of cotton (Mollaee et al, 2019). In another study, Ali et al (2019) have reported that insects pests attack was the main suppressor of cotton production and application of insecticides was the only way possible to control the insects' pests.…”

Cotton is regarded as a cash crop in Pakistan and the country is ranked 5th in terms of production and 5th importer in the world as well. Cotton production in Pakistan is under huge pressure and it's continuously declining over the period. This review aimed at exploring the different reasons for the cotton production decline. This review comprises two major sections. In the first section, percentage change in area, production and yield of cotton in Punjab, Sindh and Pakistan is calculated from 1990-2020. This analysis indicated a drastic decline in area, production and the average yield of cotton in the country. In the second section, previously published literature is consolidated to explore the different constraints causing change in the area, production and average yield of cotton. The major constraints causing the sweeping decline included environmental constraints, climate change, water-related constraints, agronomic constraints and socio-economic related constraints. This study concludes that cotton crop decline is not in favor of cotton associated industry, farming groups and national economy and it is much needed to bring reforms for the revival of cotton crop. This study urges further research on exploring the reasons that are compelling farmers to reduce the cotton area, quitting cotton cultivation or switching to other crops.

Potential Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor Acting on the Pesticide Resistant and Susceptible Cotton Pests

et al. 2022

Gossypium spp., produces economically important cotton fiber, and its yield is highly affected due to pest attacks. Insecticidal target site mutation is one of the reasons behind insecticide resistance to a wide range of pesticides. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) protein sequences from major pests of cotton were analyzed to assess various physicochemical properties, presence of motifs, and understand evolutionary relationship. The impact of three mutant AChE1, A. lucorum A216S, B. tabaci F392W, and A. gossypii A302S, on the strucutral stability was assessed, and F392W_AChE1 was selected based on 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation. Virtual screening of the zinc database and high-throughput virtual screening, standard precision, and extra precision docking resulted in the identification of six compounds. The six identified compounds and six known commercial pesticdes were docked with three mutant and three wild type AChE1, and one (C1) was selected based on Tice criteria. The conformational and interaction stability of the AChE1-C1 and F392W_AChE1-C1 complexes were monitored at 100 ns Gromacs simulation and were found to be thermodynamically favorable. Therefore, C1 may have the potential to bind to the resistant and susceptible strains of cotton pest, and the resistance developed by insects could be arrested. Furthermore, synthesis and field study of C1 will lead us to a better understanding of the efficacy of the identified compound.
