Travel to the USA to attend the Fusarium 2005 workshop at Kansas State University, and to accompany representatives of the Australian cotton industry on a cotton disease study tour of the USA.

This project focused on developing and testing best management options for key pests in Bollgard®II and conventional cotton.

Floodplains along river systems of the northern Murray-Darling Basin contain a diversity of wetland habitats, maintained through highly variable patterns of flood inundation.

Water allocation and access arrangements affect the livelihoods and well-being of a diverse range of water users, including irrigators and the environment increasing pressures on surface and groundwater resources have

An efficient and world standard computing system at ACRI has benefited all research

The commonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness (weight per unit length) and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.
