The aims of the CRDC project CSE 29C were: - to optimise the design of recombinant Helicoverpa viruses with increased insecticidal activity (Activities 1 and 2 of the overall program above), - to develop suitable larg

The aim of this study was to complete the development of a mirid feeding bioassay to facilitate screening and characterization of proteinaceous toxins.

Disease surveys in November and March of each season have been undertaken on a regular basis since 1983.

In Australia, management of cotton pests is insecticide based.

This study was initiated to quantify the impact of those predators commonly found in Australian cotton fields and thereby reveal the importance of the various predatory species in Helicoverpa pest management.

A large collection of microorganisms with over 2000 isolates has been established at the Australian Cotton Research Institute for the purpose of identifying potential bio-control agents and developing biological contr

Commissioned in November 1994, it was funded equally by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) and Sainty and Associates with a budget of $47 000 and the following work was undertaken: 1.

Supplementary funding was provided by the CRDC allowing three personnel ($1750 each, $5,250 total) from the pesticide chemistry group to attend the 8th International Congress on Pesticide Chemistry, held in Washington

In March 1995 the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) asked the Centre for International Economics to prepare a report on the cotton industry and its economic impact.

Nutgrass control was examined in field and glasshouse studies. A nutgrass control strategy was developed based on Zoliar and in-crop Roundup, and infallow, cultivation in dry conditions and Roundup in wet conditions.

Cotton plants expressing the CrylAc toxin from Bt are near to commercial release.

OBJECTIVES: 1. To study sampling and control practices for mirlds in irrigated and dryland cotton.

Field experiments at Narrabri in 1993, 1994 and 1995 have utilised overhead sprinklers and, portable rain-out shelters.

Modern molecular genetic techniques are used to examine Helicove1pa armigera for variation amongst individuals from different geographical locations around Australia.

In July 1994 the International Society of Soil Science held its 15th Congress in Acapulco, Mexico. Approximately 1800 ISSS members from almost 90 nations attended.

The aim of this book is to help cotton growers, field consultants and agronomists correctly identify the wide range of pests and beneficials that can be found in the crops they manage.

Capacity Sharing is an institutional arrangement and property rights structure for allocating water among multiple users of water resource systems which include storage reservoirs.

This project has supported a wide range of cotton programs based at Narrabri covering all CRDC funded projects during this period.
