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

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

Irrigating cotton requires balancing excessive vegetative growth due to abundant water supply against limited yield potential due to water restriction.

The International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE) exists to promote the understanding of interactions between organisms and their environment that are mediated by naturally occurring chemicals.

Under conditions of reduced water availability, research over a number of years has indicated that optimum area to irrigate is that which allows around 5 to 6 ML per ha for the irrigated crop.

A national workshop was convened by National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) to establish the need for national standards for rrigated crop water balance and crop evapotranspiration (ETc1) fiel

This factsheet is the master list of the CVAP series published in mid-1999 and updated in May/June 2002. There are four factsheets in the general CVAP Program category (G).

This report is the final report of the initial National Land and Water Resources Audit. It summarises the principal findings and describes some of the substantial uses already made of the Audit's information.

The Annual Operational Plan (AOP) - provides a detailed account of the specific developments and activities (including the budget) planned for the forthcoming year

The minirhizotron system was purchased and field use commenced in January 2002., A standard operating procedure (SOP) and protocols for using it under field conditions is, being defined at present.

Cotton is a mycotrophic plant in which growth and nutrient uptake is usually, increased by mycorrhizal colonisation (Nehl et al. 1998).

This prospectus outlines a new Land & Water Australia program that focuses irrigation research on critical natural resource management issues.

There is a close relationship between how land is managed and the impact phosphorus may have on in-stream health.

Recent research suggests that another factor that affects bloom formation is the management of flows in both rivers and water storage areas. Rivers rarely experience algal bloom outbreaks during periods of high flow.

This report describes a project undertaken to examine human perception of native vegetation.
