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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The kit provides case studies and structured worksheets for you to record your own figures in the kit framework.

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.

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.
