Fusarium wilt is caused by pathogenic fungi in the genus Fusarium, which infect the roots of susceptible plants and are able to spread throughout the vascular system, stimulating the production of gums and gels that b

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

This is the final report for project DAN168C. This project ceased after 1 year of operation.

Key factors in managing transgenic Bt cottons for the future are to have an effective resistance management strategy. An essential component of any such strategy is to establish a resistance monitoring program.

In July 2000, an Integrating Our Approaches workshop involving trigators from the Emerald

Irrigation Area (EIA) and Dawson Valley, private sector consultants, Industry Development

A series of trials for evaluating new cotton strains and cultivars in Queensland was conducted in collaboration with the CSIRO cotton breeding programs based at Narrabri.

Additional research work has been undertaken to answer a range of questions raised concerning various aspects of WEEDpak.

Included are:

Cotton fibre maturity is an extremely important property to spinners and fabric manufacturers because it determines how well fibres will process both from a chemical and a physical perspective.

This study followed on from a series of

focus groups run throughout the cotton

industry in 1997 to increase the

understanding of issues impacting on the

Resistance is an ongoing concern with the management of H.armigera in the Australian

cotton industry. Management strategies are in place to either prevent, or retard, further

Fov is the causal organism of Fusarium wilt disease in cotton. This disease is of serious concern to the cotton industry in terms of potential yield loss.

This project has led to a significant advance in our understanding of the feeding behaviour of the adult heliothis moth. It has used detailed studies in ecology and behaviour of H.

The Leaf Chamber Fluorometer is an exciting new addition to the physiological instrumentation available to the scientists at ACRI.

The main recommendation arising from six and a half years of research into how to

gin cotton with an emphasis on quality relates to practices outside of ginning, rather

than ginning itself.

Cotton production has grown to become one of Australia’s most important agricultural

industries, with several regional economies supported by its development. Growing
