A cropping systems framework is used to analyze breeding priorities between wheat, a staple food crop, and cotton, a cash crop, which are increasingly grown in a sequential double cropping pattern in Pakistan's Punjab. Survey and experimental data are presented to show how conflicts in harvesting of cotton and planting of wheat are being resolved through earlier cotton varieties and wheat varieties that perform well over a range of planting dates. However, changes in cotton pest management and price relationships between cotton and wheat call for continuous review of breeding priorities.
