A series of case studies was conducted to evaluate the current status of nitrate contamination in Australia, including distribution and processes.

The theme of this edition of RipRap is looking at overseas research, knowledge and experience to see what help we can get for river and riparian management in Australia.

The project aims are: * Construction of additional cages to isolate field-collected strains of A. gossypii. * Establishment of additional base-line data.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES To monitor pyrethroid, endosulfan, organophosphate and carbamate resistance in H. armigera and H. punctigera. from all cotton areas and to refine resistance management strategies.

This report is based on data gathered with the assistance of the membership of Cotton Consultants Australia Inc. (CCA) and covers all major cotton growing regions in Australia.

Aims * To quantify the relationship between cotton plant spatial arrangement and soil water dynamics, and its effect on raingrown cotton yield and quality.

The handbook is divided into two parts and nine sections. It is anticipated that growers will want to refer more frequently to sections on ground spraying technology, safety, handling and application.

List the project objectives:Improve efficacy of pesticides by increasing the amount of spray reaching the target by reducing the losses due to evaporation of spray before it reaches the target.

Aim: To build a new glasshouse to provide a facility for basic research into plant I herbivore interactions

This document is designed to assist users to develop a spray and drift management plan for their own farming operation, and applies equally to aerial and ground applications.

Project Objectives 1. To quantify the effectiveness of trap crops. 2. To quantify the impact of trap crops on egg densities in surrounding cotton. 3.

Aims * To evaluate treatments that inhibit or restrict microbial degradation to cotton when the seed cotton harvest is delayed by wet weather.

During the 1995/96 and 1997/98 cotton-growing seasons there was an inverse relationship between the population densities of dominant benthic macroinvertebrates and concentrations of endosulfan in the Namoi River.
