Research project summary: Field experiments at ACRI Narrabri were devised to evaluate summer and winter growing legumes with respect to the amounts of atmospheric N2 fixed using the I SN natural abundance technique.

In this study we aim to assess the current water use efficiency of the industry by analysing the water use data currently being collected by producers. Data from approximately twenty producers will be analysed.

objectives: 1. Document current knowledge on the water use efficiency of Australian cotton and comment on potential for improvement. 2.

A strip tiller machine was assembled and used prior to cotton planting this season. Some practical problems associated with heavy clay soils showed up, and are being addressed.

This project aims to provide fibre quality assessments for the Australian cotton breeding program and related projects by the operation and maintenance of a fibre testing laboratory at ACRI.

This report presents the results of a six month investigation into the need for and feasibility of developing an automatic moisture measuring system for cotton.

Transportable weigh scales are currently located at Narrabri (NSW Ag.) and Dalby (QDPI). These units are very useful for measuring yields from trials located on cotton farms.

This project aims to support numerous cotton research projects by enabling the production of experimental crop at ACRI.

The Analysis of cotton production in the Bourke district project will fonn part of a co-funded project to develop a land and water management plan for the Bourke irrigation district.

ks in southern Europe provide a unique opportunity for Australian researchers to learn of the latest developments in entomology, Bacillus thuringiensis and other insect pathogens, and technology transfer in biological

The objectives of this project were: 1. To identify candidate pathogens for the biocontrol of purple nutsedge ( Cyperus rotundus). 2.

This project has focused specifically on grassy White Box woodland because of its scarcity and the extent to which it has disappeared or been degraded through competition with other rural land uses.

This publication contains the findings and proceedings from the Optimising On and Off Farm Water Supply Systems Management workshop.

This report is a summation of the background, objectives, and acltievements of the research project funded by CRDC grant CSP4 7C. We would like to emphasize four particularly notable Q achievements.

The National Eutrophication Management Program (NEMP) and Environment Australia convened a workshop to develop a coherent overview of the sources and transport of diffuse phosphorus in Australian catchments based on t

The objectives of the LWRRDC scoping review were: 1.

The purpose of this project was to assist Agriculture Western Australia to develop a procedure for determining resource capability as a basis for the assessment and monitoring of rangelands in the grasslands of Northe

These guidelines have been prepared to meet the objectives shown in the terms of reference. The main task of the guidelines is to provide a framework to improve the quality and appropriateness of program evaluation.

To improve the management of R&D programs, LWRRDC commissioned an ex-post evaluation of nine completed research projects, all of which were considered to have achieved their intended R&D outcomes.
