The way the cotton plant responds to water stress on different soil types changes will influence its requirement for water and may change the irrigation strategy used if yield potential is to be achieved.

Crop and weed sensing technology has existed as a research tool in Australia since 1984. The concept was originally developed by researcher Warwick Felton at the DPI Tamworth.

The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity of Fov in Australian cotton fields.

Soil quality issues have been researched within a crop rotation experiment that started in 1994 at Narrabri. It compares three crop rotations that have included or excluded legume phases throughout this period.

Research, Development and Extension funding, has traditionally utilised the extension arm (Cotton Industry Development Officers) within the industry to deliver and be responsible for both extension and training activi

A major research effort over the last 13 years by researchers from DPI&F in collaboration with other agencies has sought to understand what strains of the pathogen are present, monitor the distribution of the path

Our research group set out to examine three topics: we documented the diversity of common microbes in cotton soils and followed this with research targeting interactions between microbes and seedling pathogens, we exa

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) is an economically significant pathogen of cotton in Australia.

Branding has become one of the latest buzzwords, and there are a number of brand developers out there who purport to offer businesses mystical solutions to building their brand.

Waste-stream materials can be obtained at little or no cost but their value in agriculture is limited by transportation and application costs.

My presentation is entitled "Industry Directions". I would like to share with you my thoughts and key areas of concern as identified by The Australian Cotton Industry Council.

This pilot experiment at Carroll and Narrabri investigated the yield and fibre quality benefits of application of foliar potassium, phosphorus and micronutrients to a high yielding Bollgard II and Roundup Ready variet

In Australia, most cotton is sown from late September to early October, when cool conditions, favourable to black root rot, usually occur.

Soil moisture extraction under fully irrigated conditions was the same in BollgardII and conventional varieties, except where season length allowed later crop and leaf growth in the conventional variety.

The severity of diseases caused by species of Fusarium is often increased by high rainfall and cool temperatures (Neal, 1947; Sharma and Sharma, 2003; Wang et al., 1999; Young, 1947).

Black root rot is a seedling disease caused by the soilborne fungal pathogen Thielaviopsis basicola. It is a significant threat to cotton and other crops in Australia, especially in cooler areas and seasons.

BollgardII accumulated yield faster than conventional cotton due to higher retention combined with a very low proportion of tipped plants.

Black root rot (caused by Thielaviopsis basicola), is an important seedling pathogen in the cotton industry in Australia (Nehl et al. 2004).

This study evaluates the physiological responses of fourteen cotton genotypes under waterlogged and non-waterlogged irrigated conditions in relation to leaf nutrient level, leaf colour, leaf photosynthesis, plant morp

The objective of this study was to determine what if any biological activity occurred in H. armigera adults and larvae when exposed to extracts from a leguminous plant from Africa, herein referred to as Plant Y.
