The 13th Australian Cotton Conference in August 2006 provided an excellent 'showcase' to

enhance the outputs from CRDC funded research to the industry. The largest gathering of

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important symbiotic partners to the majority of land plants. AMF depend on the plant community for photosynthate-derived energy.

I fully appreciate the opportunity I have had to participate in such a Program and

hence I extend my thanks to my sponsors, Cotton Research and Development

I feel that the trip was particularly successful. In my own research I have found that diverse communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) actually survive in the cotton cropping soils at Narrabri.

Picking contractors are most concerned about the financial viability and security of their business and the aging status and declining value of their machinery Movement of machinery is a major concern for picking cont

The CRDC project funds for “Operational Costs for Cotton Experiments” is used to fund cotton experimental trials at the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI).

Beneficial insects (generalist predators and parasitoids) occur within cotton agro ecosystems in Australia, but farming systems do not always encourage their survival.

The focus of the project has been to provide support for growers and consultants of broadacre crops, as they attempt to implement IPM.

Wincott – the Women’s Industry Network Cotton – has achieved all the objectives of this project.

To purchase additional instrumentation which will enhance existing experiments such that the rigorous scientific measurement and comparison of the water use efficiency of transgenic and conventional cotton systems can

This PhD project aims to determine the mechanisms, by which soil sodicity impacts on the uptake of nutrients and growth of cotton crops, in order that soil sodium levels can be factored into crop nutritional managemen

A major challenge for the insect pest management is responding to resistance.The spread of resistance 'genes' throughout a population depends upon initital frequencies, dominance, fitness consequences and th
