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.

The position of Cotton Industry Development Officer (C.l.D.O) in the Macquarie Valley was implemented in 1993-94 because much good research generated at Narrabri was not being adopted by local growers.

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

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

A large collection of microorganisms with over 2000 isolates has been established at the Australian Cotton Research Institute for the purpose of identifying potential bio-control agents and developing biological contr

Supplementary funding was provided by the CRDC allowing three personnel ($1750 each, $5,250 total) from the pesticide chemistry group to attend the 8th International Congress on Pesticide Chemistry, held in Washington

Nutgrass control was examined in field and glasshouse studies. A nutgrass control strategy was developed based on Zoliar and in-crop Roundup, and infallow, cultivation in dry conditions and Roundup in wet conditions.
