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

This project has part funded field operation costs charged by NSW DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri in 2006/07.

This report outlines the results of surveys conducted by of their

membership and cotton growers from across the production valleys in eastern Australia.

Stable transformation is an essential tool for molecular biologists workingon non-model organsims.

I would like to report on CSITC results for the 2nd pilot trial and the benefits to CCAA Classing Facilities to continue in this program.

The salts of many essential plant nutrients are soluble in water and may be applied to plant leaves directly as a foliar fertiliser.

This project aimed to fill a gap that existed in developing management strategies in the field that optimised cotton fibre properties.

This project part funded the purchase of a new HVI to be used for testing fibre samples from CSIRO’s cotton breeding program as well as most research projects at ACRI and other locations such as Canberra and Kununurra

The key purpose of this Primary Industry Health and Safety Partnership strategic plan is to guide the R&D activities supported by the Farm Health and Safety Joint Research Venture over the next 5 years in

This report presents the experimental works and outcomes of my study on the project “IPM

in BollgardII® cotton‐New tools and strategies: A Farming: Systems Approach” under the

Meeting opened with Axel Dreiling’s presentation of results from CSITC 7001-1

round trial. I have attached following reports:

In 2002/03 these chemicals were tested for Helicoverpa species control: Abrade® 50% a.i. (Grow Choice Pty. Ltd), Azamax® 1% a.i. (OCP Pty. Ltd.), BASF320 200g a.i.

Allocations of river and groundwater have been traditionally treated separately in Australia and many other parts of the world even though in many regions groundwater and river systems are hydraulically connected.

Australian cotton fibre is exported into a dynamic and competitive market and we need to ensure an ever-improving product to meet the demand from spinners.

I was invited to speak in a symposium on monitoring for resistance to Bt at the 2006 combined Meetings of the Society of Invertebrate Pathology and VIII International Conference on Bacillus thuringiensis (ICBt).

This project has advanced the use of soil and tissue testing such that growers and advisors are now better able to optimise fertiliser use and have greater confidence in their management practices to provide sound nut

I attended the International Cotton Genomics Initiative meeting in Brazil on 18,19, 20 September, 2006. I replaced Curt Brubaker who, because he had left CSIRO, was unable to attend.

Water availability and the related subject of climate change is the primary issue facing the
