The BASIC program has 20 enrolled fields for
the 2006 cotton growing season. The fields range from Merced
to Madera to Fresno counties with about 1,800 enrolled acres.
Together the BASIC growers farm more than 20,000 acres of
cotton in California’s Central Valley. BASIC offers
these growers bio-intensive IPM strategies designed to reduce
chemical inputs, along with technical support for this more
biological approach to growing cotton. The BASIC program has
been able to consistently achieve significant chemical reduction
with no loss of yields.
In 2006, BASIC is looking at the feasibility of marketing
the cotton from the program as a valued added product. We
are currently seeking a markets for this high quality San
Joaquin Valley cotton.
