This project has achieved its stated goals in that a gene which confers tolerance to 2,4-D has been isolated and engineered for expression in plants.

This project is a long-running one concerned with breeding varieties adapted to Australian conditions, growing practices and markets.

AIMS 1. To extend the understanding of compaction/degradation of Namoi grey clays (developed in previous project) to cover the range of soil types important for irrigated cotton. 2.

The objectives of this study were: (i) To study the population dynamics of Heliothis on the Darling Downs and to quantify the significance of the major controlling influences (predators, parasites pathogens, weather a

This project utilises information from Emerald and other irrigation districts in the State to develop a scheduling system, WATERSCHED, as part of a Cotton Management Decision Program. OBJECTIVES 1.

AIMS 1. To determine the mechanical and physical consequences of land preparation and harvesting on the soils and to relate these effects to soil water content. 2.

The objective of this project was to evaluate preliminary and advanced breeding selections from the Narrabri and Biloela programs at up to five locations in Queensland.

In the last year I requested funds for partial support towards a conference trip in the USA, together with a visit to the principal laboratory in the USA investigating tillage and compaction.

Ms. McRae presented a paper titled 'Characterisation of enzymes in the spore matrix of Colletotrichum orbiculare".

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics is one of the few organisations that publish cotton pri ce forecasts t o assist growers in making their planting decisions.

Genetic engineering involves the agronomic improvement of crop plants through the introduction of new genetic information (genes) originating from other organisms.
