The study underlying this report was concerned with taking samples of seedcotton from the field and tracking them through the stages of ginning, spinning, and fabric production.

Information on the distribution of rainfall (the key driving variable for inland populations of H. punctigera) has been obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology.

Purpose: The workshop brought together soil researchers to discuss: existing research; issues arising; new developments; gaps and future directions.

project objectives To investigate the use of cotton-processing wastes as organic soil amendments for cotton production. Establish field-trials with composted gin-trash to: a.

In 1999, CRDC provided funding to CSIRO to purchase a custom built trailer to transport planter or plot harvester to remote experiment sites.

For the fourth season, the CRDC have commissioned a survey to examine the impact of, INGARD Cotton, (by Monsanto) on pesticide use in the Australian cotton industry.

One hundred & seventy people were given training in soil assessment and management Hands-on training in soil management was given to one hundred & seventy members of the Australian cotton industry at a series

The objectives of this project were: (i.) To modify the existing structure analysis program Solicon 3.0 so that it is functional on all personal computers (PCs); and (ii.) To widely distribute and demonstrate the conv

Outline the background to the project.

OBJECTIVES* To confirm the identity of the species of the apple dimpling bug and develop alaboratory protocol for mass rearing of the insect.* To conduct detailed studies of the insect's life cycle, behaviour and

Project objectives : Providing fibre quality assessments for the Australian cotton breeding program and other projects.

The aim was to develop and pilot a coordinated, national ChemCert Groundrig Spray Applicators Training course which meets the needs of groundrig spray operators (contract and farmer) in both cotton and grains industri

Objectives * To compare the distribution of Helicoverpa life stages on conventional and INGARD cotton varieties in relation to sampling protocols.

Objectives The objectives were to produce a pocket sized booklet which contained important BMP information for groundrig operators, including growers operating their own rigs.

A walk-in cool room was originally planned to be part of the new cotton breeding/pathology wing at the Australian Cotton Research Institute but was deleted during the construction phase due to budget constraints.

A Pilot Study carried out in a NSW cotton crop in 1993 showed that lint and seed production could be improved by up to 25% by honey bee pollination.

This report has been prepared as a cotton management tool for the cotton growers and their consultants in the Darling Downs Cotton Management Group.

Project objectives a * Prepare cDNA libraries from young cotton ovules at the time fibre cells begin to initiate.* Sequence 2500 clones from the cotton cDNA libraries

objectives . To quantify the effects from multi-herbicide use on key soil biological processes in soils 2.

OBJECTIVES * Quantify and compare the population densities of beneficial soil fauna! groups in commercial irrigated cotton fields that are managed using conventional, lngard, and Envirofeast technologies.
