This project was designed to assess the potential of a plant derived antifungal gene (NaD1) for control of cotton pathogens. The NaD1 gene codes for a small protein called a plant defensin.

This research project involved the development and application of crop simulation tools to assist with crop management within the cotton industry.

The Australian cotton industry is heavily dependent on chemical insecticides for pest control.
