The Beltwide cotton conference is well worth attending as it is one of the few conferences specifically devoted to all aspects of cotton research.

A major issue facing the cotton industry in Australia is the potential for surface and groundwater contamination from the inefficient application of nitrogenous fertilisers.

Heliothis (Helicoverpa sp.) pupae that overwinter in the soil have a high risk of carrying insecticide resistance into the next season.

After much consideration the project grant for a thermocycler (CRDC197C) was used to purchase an Eppendorf Mastercycler gradient machine.

In order to provide similar information for comparison, the major aims of Phase, III (Implementation and Management) were to a) initially consult with community groups (e.g.

The aim of the project was to provide cotton advisers and leading growers in the Hillston district (lower Lachlan Valley, NSW) with the latest information about soil assessment and management for the sustainable produ

The initial BMP Manual focussed on pesticide use. This project aimed to explore the requirements for expanding the focus of the BMP manual, and the BMP program, to all relevant natural resource management issues.

Cotton fibres are single epidermal cells developed from the ovule.

Cotton aphid (Aphis gossipy) and green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) are prominent pests in many of Australia's cotton regions The importance of aphid has increased in recent times due to their association with co

The minirhizotron system was purchased and field use commenced in January 2002.

The silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci B type) is a world-wide pest on many crops, with a particular appetite for cotton.

Cotton production in Australia has traditionally been conducted using surface irrigation techniques on heavy clay soils.

Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) and H. punctigera (Wallengren) are serious pests of cotton in Australia. These pests constitute a continually increasing production cost for most field crops,

Managing sustainable cotton production is becoming more difficult with the ever-increasing demands for limited resources.

in previous studies we have indicated a relationship between a decline in macro-invertebrate population densities and riverine endosulfan concentrations measured using passive samplers (Hyne et al.

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.

The effects of rotation crops and their management on soil properties of Vertosols, cotton yield and profitability were monitored from 1993 to 2001 in 3 irrigated field trials in NSW (Warren in the Macquarie valley, a

Dryland cotton fanning systems are complex and usually comprise of a number of different rotational crops in conjunction with summer and winter fallows.

Currently, the qualities that are being engineered into cotton relate to crop management issues such as insect-resistance (Frutos et al.

The 4th Pacific Rim Conference on the Biotechnology of Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Environmental Impact was held in the Manning Clark Centre, Australian National University, from 11''' to 15'&qu
