  abstract = {{A} comprehensive study of the history of cotton production in {T}hailand shows the causes of its collapse. {C}rop protection problems are regarded as major driving forces behind the recent changes in cotton production systems. {T}he cotton industry went through the characteristic sequence leading from subsistence farming to a disaster phase, because of increasing reliance on chemical pesticides. {I}ntegration of biophysical and socio-economic aspects of cotton production allows evolutionary path and the obstacles to the dissemination of {IPM} principles among key stakeholders to be explained. {S}uggestions are made to facilitate the process of collective learning toward more sustainable {IPM} practices.
