Aphids, once only a secondary pest in cotton are now a major problem for growers in some regions. Problems associated with aphid in Australian cotton include vectoring of cotton bunchy top disease, yield reductions from large early season infestations and late season effects of honeydew on fibre quality.

A ZIp file of CD contents :The Natural Resources Information Management Toolkit (the Toolkit) has been prepared by the National Land & Water Resources Audit (the Audit) and ANZLIC – the Spatial Information Council (ANZLIC), to assist regional natural resources management groups to discover, access, visualise and manage their data and information. The Toolkit has been developed in close cooperation with all jurisdictions and has been targeted at regional groups to build capacity and facilitate the two-way flow of data and information. It can be used as a textbook document, teaching aid or as a series of stand-alone modules.
