The primary aim of this study was to investigate a range of strategies for the identification of molecular markers linked with Verticillium wilt response in cotton. The research was carried out on the parental G.

A system of 24 artificial streams was constructed on the banks of the Namoi River, New South Wales (NSW) to simulate the lotic environment of the rivers in the surrounding cotton-growing region.

Abstract: The emerging focus on ecologically sustainable development (ESD) has caused a paradigm shift in the theory underpinning natural resource management. Increasingly, this shift is reflected in policy.

The aim of this publication 1s to provide a contemporary reference to Australia's research, development, education and extension activities in climate variability in relation to agriculture.

In early 1997, the Corporation and its partners released a series of issues papers on riparian management. These were designed for a non-technical audience, to promote awareness of riparian functions.

NEMP funded a workshop at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga in November 1997 to examine recent research into the limitations to phytoplankton growth that arise from nutrient limitation.

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.

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

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.
