Karnataka was one of the important cotton areas in India & covered an area of 6.05 lakh ha in 1998- 99. This area in the state decreased over the years. The reasons for decrease in area were due to severe pest problem, price fluctuation and drought. Among these, pest problem made the farmers to spend more on plant protection and also yield level decreased to 201 kg lint/ha in 2005-06 from 244 kg lint/ha in 1998 – 99.
