This 3 year study examined the relationships between catches of Heliothis adults in monitoring traps and the abundance of eggs on cotton crops.

* Testing various versions of SIRATAC on a commercial scale. * Ptoviding a database of the response of cotton to damage. *Comparing the response of the new varieties Siokra and DP90 with DP61.

The experiments reported here investigated the influence of high or low concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the multiplication of X.campestris pv. malvacearum in cotton leaf tissue.

To determine the various factors affecting the loss of activity of insecticides on cotton over time.

In response to the development of resistance to pyrethroids by Heliothis armigera in 1983, an Insecticide management strategy was devised.in an attempt to prolong the field effectiveness of this and indeed, the other

The term 'genetics' encompasses a group of disciplines which study aspects of evolution. the first of these, molecular genetics, examines DNA, the raw material of evolution, and its organisation into genes.

A contribution was made to the last ACGRA conference on "The duration.of insecticidal activity against Heliothis larvae on cotton".

To optimize catches of Heliothis punctigera and H. armigera pheromone blends, dispenser and trap design have been evaluated and modified over a.7 year period.

In agriculture we often hear reports of new wonder varieties that are about.to revolutionise agriculture, yet when these varieties are released, if.indeed they are released, they seem to fall far short of the publicit

The high quality cotton Namcala and its predecessor Hopicala have traditionally been grown on small percentages of the Australian cotton acreage (Mainly in NSW) as an alternative to the high yielding varieties such as

By now most people in the cotton industry have formed an opinion about Siratac as a concept and Siratac as a Company.

Bacterial blight [Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacearum (Smith 1901) Dye.1972], of cotton produces angular spots on leaves and squares, causes defoliation, lesions on sterns and bolls and reduces yield.

The adult stages of the two Heliothis species found most abundantly in the summer cropping areas of Australia (H. armigera and .H. punctigera) are easily distinguishable and have been so for some time.
