Mortality of Helicoverpa in Bollgard II® cotton fields and implications for Bt resistance management Final report To prolong the utility of Bollgard II® against H.

The effects of rotation crops and stubble management on soil quality, carbon sequestration, deep drainage, nutrient leaching, yield and profitability of succeeding cotton in irrigated and dryland Vertosols was studied

Although cotton farming is a major industry in the Namoi Valley, the status of on farm native vegetation and bird life is poorly understood.

This project initially set out to advance the industries capacity to manage water quality through the development of constructed wetlands.

There is consensus both locally and internationally that the measurement of cotton fibre properties by the traditional method o subjective classing should be replaced with the measurements by the relevant instruments

Contamination, even if it is a single foreign fibre, can lead to the downgrading of yarn, fabric or garments to second quality or even the total rejection of an entire consignment and is thus a very important fibre pa

Project aimed to :Identify new scouting and information collecting tools and decision support systems for the Australian cotton industry that utilise wireless internet technologies and advanced handheld device.Develop

Advancing Water Management in NSW was initiated by industry and government in recognition of the importance of investing in a highly effective extension team to assist the cotton industry improve water use efficiency.

In 2001 a scoping study (phase I) was commissioned to determine and prioritise the weed issues of cropping systems with dryland cotton.

The Cotton Training Coordinator project (5.1.01) was developed from the previous three year CRDC funded project: 4.2.04 AC (IPM Training Coordinator).

Groundwater is the term referring to water that occurs under the ground.Groundwater is a vast and slow moving resource that greatly exceeds the volume of other available freshwater sources.

The average amount of time a watermolecule spends at a particularstage during its journey throughthe hydrologic cycle is known as theresidence time.

Productive cotton farms need to be connected with roads and rail to gins and ports. Similarly, a productive natural workforce needs to be connected to the native vegetation to access all the resources it requires.
