Objectives To enhance technology transfer between researchers, consultants and farmers and to develop approptiate commercial technology for farmer adoption. Initially, emphasis was placed on conservation cropping and integrated pest management. Project funding was sought to enable the appointee to the newly established Cotton Extension Agronomist position to become familiar with the research in the cotton industry, and with consultants, farmers and other industry personnel. In the year of project the objectives were: 1. Meet all the researchers involved in the cotton industry at Myall Vale, Toowoomba and Biloela. 2. Make contact with all of the cotton agronomists/consultants in south Queensland. 3. Meet representative farmers from each district in the region. 4. Establish commercial demonstrations of appropriate cotton growing technology.
