• Mirid and stinkbug management in Bollgard® II 

  Cotton Catchment Communities CRC (Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, 2011-06-30)

  The Australian cotton industry places a large emphasis on IPM. To boost IPM further, along with plant based threshold and monitoring procedures, IPM tools are needed. Salt mixtures are considered to be one such tool to ...
• Diseases of Cotton IX 

  Allen, Stephen; Lonergan, Peter; Anderson, Chris (Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, 2010-10-12)

  The &quote;Diseases of Cotton&quote; projects have run since 1984 and have played a key role in monitoring the emergence and decline of cotton diseases over time, often following the adoption of new technologies.Consequently, ...
• Microbial biodiversity for soil health 

  Midgley, David (Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, 2007-09-30)

  Black root rot caused by Thielaviopsis basicola has become a major seedling disease in cotton soils since 1989. The role of seedling pathogens has become increasingly evident in the establishment and early growth of cotton. ...

  Downes, Sharon (Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, 2008-06-30)

  Mortality of Helicoverpa in Bollgard II® cotton fields and implications for Bt resistance management Final report To prolong the utility of Bollgard II® against H. armigera, growers that use this tool must follow a resistance ...
• Quantifying deep drainage using lysimetry 

  Ringrose-Voase, Anthony (Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, 2009-04-02)

  Drainage from below the plant root zone is not only a waste of water resources but a potential driver of rising water tables and salinity. Better estimates of the quantity and timing of drainage are required in the clay ...
• Water relations of the cotton plant 

  Cotton Catchment Communities CRC (Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, 2006-06-30)

  Experiments to establish the response of cotton plant to soil water stress under different soil types, climatic conditions and fruiting loads have shown that (i) the response of cotton to water stress is different on ...
