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

This symposium was the first conference held specifically for biological control of arthropods and follows the successful model of four-yearly symposia for biological control of weeds.

This project arose from the 'Fibre Plus' workshops at Narrabri coordinated by both the Cotton CRC and the CRDC.

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.

The aims of this scientific exchange, were for Dr Stephen Cattle to travel to, Texas A&M University and work with Dr Richard Drees to: (1) thoroughly analyse the collection of thin sections for a range of soil str

Report and feedback on project progress from peers and relevant industry groups.

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

To attend the first First International Symposium on Biological Control of Arthropods (ISBCA) in Hawaii, January 2002 (re-scheduled after September 11, 2001 events).

The need for a comprehensive and integrated weed identification and management guide for the Australian cotton industry has long been recognised.

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

The Australian industry efforts were reviewed by Dr Patrick Colyer, a plant pathologist with extensive experience in cotton, from Louisiana State University, USA.

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

Industry Development Officer (IDO) of Gunnedah is part of the National Extension Service. This position has been successful in increasing technology adoption by local growers.

Since the early 1960s, global agricultural output has increased at rates and to levels that are unprecedented in human history Much of the productivity increase is attributed to the breeding of high-yielding crop vari

The assassin bug, Pristhesancus plagipennis (Walker) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a, natural enemy of bug and larval insects in both orchard and field crops. Several, studies have suggested that P.

Cotton fibres are single epidermal cells developed from the ovule.

Training in all aspects of cotton production with particular attention given to the, following disciplines., * Integrated pest management, * Plant physiology and nutrition, * Soil and irrigation management, * Establis

Cellulose is a crystalline B-I, 4 glucan found in all higher plants and comprises over 90% of the dry matter of the mature cotton fibre.

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

The Soil-Water Laboratory has been set up with a $45,000 grant from the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) and funding from the University’s own Sesqui major equipment grant program.
