This report summarises the findings from the CRDC funded project "Managing soils to avoid compaction problems in cotton growing". The project ran from 1989/90 to 1991/92.

This project had objectives of: 1 studying the risk of damaging soil, and by how much, by tillage and traffic at various moisture contents; 2 testing funher the 11critical moisture" concept developed under a prev

This project studied the factors responsible for frequency changes in endosulfan resistance.in populations of H. armigera in cotton.

Despite the broad title, the project has concentrated on transverse dimensions of fibres, notably maturity in all of its aspects.

A February 1993 meeting of the Chief Executives from the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRCD), Rural Water Corporation of Victoria, NSW Department of Water Resources and Queensland De

Funded by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation under the general topic "Physical and Chemical Studies of Cotton Fibre Maturity", the project has focused on searching for links between the morpholo

A self propelled high powered; high clearance insecticide sprayer is now available to cotton growers. As with all products development continues.

The aims of this project, viz: (i) To purchase an item of equipment necessary for the extraction and analyses of allelochemicals present in cotton varieties under evaluation for their rcsi~tance to insect pests (ii) T

Objectives To enhance technology transfer between researchers, consultants and farmers and to develop approptiate commercial technology for farmer adoption.

Aims: (i) To evaluate the pest resistance of cotton cultivars bearing different combinations of morphological and allelochemical resistance factors in field experiments.

Objectives 1. To develop a method for the measurement of mass flow of anhydrous ammonia fluid. 2.

Growing other crops in rotation with cotton appears to offer the best prospect for long term viability of the cotton industry.

This Project was a preliminary study to develop an R&D program into CT based farming systems for the dryland cotton industry.

In June 1993, Mr Neville Gould, Team Leader, Agricultural Engineering, NSW Agriculture, Trangie travelled to the USA for 30 days to investigate for the Australian cotton industry the issues of anhydrous ammonia applic

In 1990, a Cotton Research and Development Corporation funded project was begun, in cooperation with the Industry Hail Scheme Insurers, to evaluate the growth response after hail damage, of cotton varieties currently

The Computer System Manager at NARS oversees all aspects of the function and services provided by the NARS Computer Facility.

The objective of this project being the purchase of new discs and uninterruptable powersupply to reduce disruption in computer system availability for clients has been fully met

The objectives of this project were to evaluate the potential of larval parasitoids, principally Microplitis, for use in biological control programs against Helicoverpa spp.

OBJECTIVES 1. To establish Helicoverpa species composition in the Macquarie Valley and to relate the data to that from other cotton growing areas in NSW and Queensland. 2.
