Protecting and improving soil health, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and enhancing input use efficiency are central to improving the sustainability of cotton in the face of changing climatic conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/efa44e18-feee-4505-a150-13ff6b8ed60b/pexels-nc-farm-bureau-mark-13924884.jpg Home - Cotton by the Numbers Cotton is an economically important crop in the United States (US), with an annual economic value of $7 billion (USDA-ERS 2022). The US is also the world’s leading exporter of cotton, contributing to about 35% of global cotton exports. In 2022, cotton was planted on 12.5 million acres in the US, with Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, and Alabama being the major cotton-producing states in the US Cotton Belt. Texas accounted for 57% of all cotton planted in the US in 2022 (USDA-NASS 2022a). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a09d9e218b27d4c1ef96a53/1513715026577-A8PZAX2BFTNB4DHBPFFH/line-light.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a09d9e218b27d4c1ef96a53/1513715010758-LK2ZQL7048SWMJH5ZY05/line-light.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/552c6a4c-3b97-4dbb-9732-0c24055fedd0/pexels-nc-farm-bureau-mark-13924877.jpg Home - Project Goals The overall hypothesis of the proposed project is that regenerative production practices, including those that allow for a reduction in tillage for weed control, use of advances in digital technologies for resources input management will transform current US cotton production into a more climate-smart, resilient, and sustainable operation. The long-term goal of the proposed research is to apply improved precision management practices to enable enhanced carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse gas emission, pest control, and nutrient and water management; and to address labor challenges, steward land, create new market opportunities, and ensure a sustainable supply of climate-smart cotton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a09d9e218b27d4c1ef96a53/1513715026577-A8PZAX2BFTNB4DHBPFFH/line-light.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/117b3bab-212a-43d1-901d-547549a404ed/Screenshot+2024-11-13+at+6.41.49%E2%80%AFAM.png Home - 10 Years goal for U.S. cotton https://www.smartcotton.org/new-gallery-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/1764776049965-Q6CHOAFI7TWFM87443C3/image-asset.jpeg New Gallery - Organic cotton event at lamesa area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/1764776049965-Q6CHOAFI7TWFM87443C3/image-asset.jpeg New Gallery - Organic cotton event at lamesa area. https://www.smartcotton.org/upcoming-events daily 0.75 2026-02-17 https://www.smartcotton.org/upcoming-events/another-meeting monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://www.smartcotton.org/upcoming-events/one-more-meeting monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://www.smartcotton.org/upcoming-events/another-conference monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://www.smartcotton.org/introduction-nueva daily 0.75 2024-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ec101db09f95da37e77918/1458317460088-Z27X14MAB5X7CAC0DBOG/SQS_DK_carlos_0226-e.jpg Introduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/637b5075-273b-47cb-9bb7-e48f34e76d4c/SmartCotton+Logo_A.png Introduction - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.smartcotton.org/project daily 0.75 2026-01-06 https://www.smartcotton.org/news daily 0.75 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/4312f43d-eaa7-4d94-be7f-50cb9a2bcb59/images.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/9544f503-c26d-4e34-bafb-71b315529587/WSSA.png News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/51f2c185-3a00-42f2-a514-123ff1aee913/Unknown.png News https://www.smartcotton.org/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2024-11-13 https://www.smartcotton.org/new-page-4 daily 0.75 2025-01-22 https://www.smartcotton.org/new-page-3 daily 0.75 2025-01-22 https://www.smartcotton.org/new-page-5 daily 0.75 2025-12-03 https://www.smartcotton.org/publications daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://www.smartcotton.org/project-team-1-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/5b67275f-b711-4a78-9019-3c52fddb9d76/Muthukumar.jpg Project Team (Copy) - Muthukumar Bagavathiannan Deepak LouraDeepak Loura (Post Doc/ Project Manager) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/f697d987-ed3e-43e8-9813-ded759a7d0a6/deepak.png Project Team (Copy) - Deepak Loura Emily Green https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fc3d72337f2e0cf28a9967/0b1040f0-8405-43d7-b836-d89e263a1c4c/Nicholas+T.+Basinger.jpg Project Team (Copy) - Nicholas T.
