This project upgraded the harvesting equipment for CSIRO cotton breeding experiments, particularly for those sites located off the Australian Cotton Research Institute.

Objectives (i) To provide full time management of the computer system at Australian Cotton Research Institute. (ii) To ensure optimal provision and use of computer resources for research and industry.

Objectives The aim of the project is to maintain the upgraded DEC computing facility at Myall Vale for the term of the project.

This study is a baseline biodiversity survey of the principal soil faunal groups found in irrigated cotton fields of north western New South Wales.

The project was teminated by CRDC after two years and therefore could not meet its final objectives.

A Heliothis NPV formulation, GemStar, showed promise as a basis for successful selective, non-chemical insect control on cotton.

The goals of this research were: 1.

OBJECTIVES Reason for Travel Dr Denholm is an international authority on the management of resistant Bemisia tabaci on cotton. 1.

The purpose of the tour was to study and experience through participation the development and extension methodologies and practices used in the transfer and adoption of new technology in the American cotton industry b

The aims of this trip were to initiate research on HaSV RNA designed to improve our ability to express insect viral genes in transgenic cotton, and to attend two important conferences relevant to the long-term biologi

A growth disorder of cotton has been observed in irrigated cracking clay soils in fields at Galathera Creek, north of the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI) for several years.

Aim of Travel: To participate in the Vlth International Co11oquium on Invertebrate Pathology and Microbial Control. The Colloquium also incorporated the Second International Conference on Bacillus thuringiensis
