Having outlined the complexity of this topic, I now intend to summarise the soil and plant mineral relations during waterlogging, followed by a brief review of the scientific principles to improve understanding of the

The successful application of Agrochemicals involves an understanding of the:- target, product, equipment, droplet behaviour, and the environment.

One of the aims of this project is to assess the N fertiliser requirements of cotton under more enlightened tillage systems currently being adopted.

In addressing this topic I have been asked to consider the development of management strategies for farmers faced with a shortage of irrigation water, a situation that appears endemic in the Gwydir Valley.

Ripping (deep soil working ) can give conflicting responses. Sometimes it i ncreases cotton yields and other times it de creases cotton yields.

Chemical Farming implies the use of chemicals for the control of insects, weeds and diseases.

I will admit, nonetheless, that there are opportunities to be grasped on occasions such as this, since one can use them (whether they be publicly documented or not) to say things that wquld be inappropriate in one&#03

This can cover an enormous area because not only does technology intrude into every aspect of growing a crop, by the view of it can change drastically with each different farmer.

Australian Cotton Conference. I have been asked to speak to you on the effects on the industry of the US Farm Bill and other political moves.

I have to tell you now that I will not be presenting such a perspective.

Travel Daly Narrabri research conference

The main aim of this trip was to report to the international scientific community on the progress of the Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy that has been implemented in Australia to contain pyrethroid and endo

The overall aim of the soils research program based at Trangie has been to develop management strategies that maximise the profitability of irrigated cropping by: (i) correcting yield limiting soil physical problems;

This project started in 1981 funded by ACGRA. CRC assumed funding until the project terminated in 1986.

Large scale trials of SIRA TAC comparing standard and dynamic thresholds were done for three years on commercial farms along the length of the Namoi valley.

Advanced breeding selections initially selected at Biloela outyielded CSIRO selections initially selected at Narrabri. In contrast, the Biloela selections were low yielders when tested in New South Wales (NSW).

Three methods of determining levels of resistance in H.armigera were evaluated. These included: (i) a standard glass vial test (ii) a tropical application (iii) a leaf disc test

The objective for this project was to erect and operate a fibreglass greenhouse at Narrabri.

The objective of this project was to modify the weather station at our Breeza Australian Cotton Cultivar site to enable the use of the telephone system and the SIRATAC computer to collect the data.
