All insecticide management decisions require a solid platform of reliable data and this can only be achieved by a long term committment to pesticide studies, obtaining baseline susceptibility data and monitoring of ch

The successful application of Agrochemicals involves an understanding of the:- target, product, equipment, droplet behaviour, and the environment.

Biological control represents one alternative to insecticides. The Cotton Research Council (CRC) has funded a project to study native egg parasites of Heliothis.

The objective of the cotton breeding programme is to breed cultivars which are adapted to central Queensland environments.

The frequency of resistance to synthetic pyrethroids in Heliothis armigera has been monitored in the Namoi Valley since the introduction of the insecticide resistance management strategy in 1983.
