-
(2008-08-10)The potential for chilling conditions in many Australian cotton growing regions during early growth and development stages demonstrates the need for assessing cold tolerance of cultivars. Preliminary studies have been ...
-
(2008-08-10)Discussion with Darling Downs growers and consultants identified a lack of local quantitative results on the response of current Bollgard varieties to different irrigation deficits. The aim of this trial was to demonstrate ...
-
(2008-08-10)This study reports on field trials using Magnet formulation with insecticide to determine the effect of applying the attracticide to a centrally located BollgardII (Bt) cotton crop on levels of Helicoverpa spp. adults, ...
-
(2008-08-10)It is increasingly recognised that the future of the Australian Cotton Industry is inextricably linked to parameters of 'permissible practice' as defined by the broader community. The Australian Cotton Industry's Best ...

-
(2008-08-10)Cotton pickers with on-board module builders (OBMB) eliminates the need for boll buggies, module builders, the tractors, and labor needed to operate this machinery. Additionally, field efficiency may be increased due to ...
-
(2008-08-10)Climatic factors such as vapor pressure (the capacity of the air to hold water at a given temperature, which is used to calculate relative humidity) influence crop growth, including how much moisture from the plant is ...
