The companion project to SOILpak, "Soil management training for advisers to cotton growers" has made a good start in familiarising consultants and agronomists with structural recognition.

The question is asked - Why grow Pima in A ustraha? There are different answers. The most obvious is the economic consideration, then there is the challenge of doing something new and different.

The reliance of the Australian cotton industry on insecticides for the control of insect pests represents a major economic and environmental concern. In the face of pesticide resistance in H.

Cotton growers began to realise in the late 1970's that compaction of clay soils may have been a cause of declining yields. Research over the last 10 years has confirmed those suspicions.

A change of direction for entomoLOGIC and some improvements to hydroLOGIC will provide growers and consultants in the 1992/93 season with effective, low cost decision support systems for irrigation and pest management

This project was established to find a simple, repeatable and reliable technique or series of techniques for consultants, extension personnel and managers to use to assess soil structural conditions in the field.

It has been 9 years now since the introduction of the Summer Crop Resistance Management Strategy in 1983/84 season.

Nitrogen management plays a key role in cotton production. It is the nutrient required in greatest quantity by the crop and it is the nutrient most often deficient.

This paper discusses recent progress with the refinement of promising methods, both direct and indirect, for measuring the severity of compaction in cracking clays used for irrigated cotton.

The suspected importance of pyrethroid metabolism in resistant H.armigera. made the investigation the biochemical basis of pyrethroid resistance in H. armigera imperative.

This article will refer to narrow row cotton only as that currently being grown in 75 cm rows (30").
