This project upgraded the harvesting equipment for CSIRO cotton breeding experiments, particularly for those sites located off the Australian Cotton Research Institute.

The project was teminated by CRDC after two years and therefore could not meet its final objectives.

Objectives (i) To provide full time management of the computer system at Australian Cotton Research Institute. (ii) To ensure optimal provision and use of computer resources for research and industry.

A Heliothis NPV formulation, GemStar, showed promise as a basis for successful selective, non-chemical insect control on cotton.

Objectives The aim of the project is to maintain the upgraded DEC computing facility at Myall Vale for the term of the project.
