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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The objective of this study is to examine the scope for further research irito certain quality characteristics of Australian cotton which are seen by many cotton industry participants as critical areas for improvement

The objectives were to provide a reliable method for quantifying the Cry1Ac produced by transgenic cotton plants and to use this to examine the changes in Cry1Ac levels during a field season.

The Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) asked the University of Queensland to undertake a study to indicate socio-economic areas for research for the cotton industry.

This travel grant (ANU5C) was in support of a postgraduate scholarship (ANU3C) granted for research into the molecular biology of gossypol biosynthesis in cotton.

The commonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.

My attending the conference and visit to Texas has provided an opportunity to update on recent US research and experience and has enabled me to meet a number of US cotton researchers.
