  abstract = {{I}nsect pests represent one of the main factors influencing the steady reduction in {T}hai cotton production over the last three decades. {M}isuse of insecticides has brought about profound changes in the composition of the entomo-fauna. {N}owadays, farmers' ability to control pests through ecologically and economically sustainable practices is a prerequisite to enhance cotton production in {T}hailand. {A} systems approach, consisting of on-farm experiments and surveys, was aimed at investigating the opportunities and obstacles for the integration of {IPM} techniques into current farmers' pest management practices. {C}orrespondence analysis provides a holistic description of the relationships among components of cotton pathosystem : pest population dynamics, cropping practices and cotton yield losses. {T}he results show that high yields are associated with early sowing and intensive use of insecticides, and thus tend to justify farmers' practices. {A} comparison of data sets from experiments and surveys helps to analyse the process that led farmers onto an insecticide treadmill. {I}nsecticide use against early season sucking insects enhances the need for further control against bollworms. {IPM} innovation targeted to this specific multiple pest complex are proposed.
