The Central Institute for Cotton Research, to protect cotton fields from damaging pink bollworm infestations, creates an AI-driven pest control system for the first time.

The Central Institute for Cotton Research (CICR) has started a unique experimental effort in Punjab to decrease the destructive effects of pink bollworm (PBW) on cotton crops. The initiative uses traps with pheromones and modern facilities with artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and control PBW infestations instantly.

The initiative focuses on Muktsar, Bhatinda, and Mansa, three important cotton-growing regions in Punjab, where 18 fields have been chosen for the trial. Farmers that participate, like Jagdev Singh, get regular notifications on their phones about PBW activity that is picked up by AI-powered cameras in the pheromone traps. This makes it possible for farmers to quickly put pest management plans into practice, reducing crop damage and associated costs.

Even genetically modified ones posing a serious risk are intended to cope with infestations of bugs, especially pink bollworm infestations. States in northern India, including Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, have reported serious infestations in recent years, with some occurrences resulting in crop losses of up to 25%.

The AI-driven solution offers farmers exact insights and useful data, thereby redefining agricultural pest control. This is the first time AI technology has been used for pest control in cotton farming in India, and it sets the stage for further developments in sustainable agricultural methods.
