Transgenic cotton has proved to be valued by Australian cotton growers and over 80% of all cotton grown is Bollgard II.

Resistance and Refuges

Downes, Sharon, Mahon, Rod, Olsen, Karen (2006-08-10)

In the 1996/97 season the Australian industry adopted an insect-resistant variety of cotton (INGARD) that is specific to the group of insects including the target pests Helicoverpa armigera and H.
