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.

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.

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

Project Objective: To provide the basis for improved crop and soil management in dryland cotton production systems by: 1. monitoring on-farm performance of cotton-based dryland cropping systems; 2.

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

In Australia, management of cotton pests is insecticide based.

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

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

A growth disorder of cotton has been observed in irrigated cracking clay soils in fields at Galathera Creek, north of the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI) for several years.

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.

The aims of this trip were to initiate research on HaSV RNA designed to improve our ability to express insect viral genes in transgenic cotton, and to attend two important conferences relevant to the long-term biologi

Aim of Travel: To participate in the Vlth International Co11oquium on Invertebrate Pathology and Microbial Control. The Colloquium also incorporated the Second International Conference on Bacillus thuringiensis

From this visit I gained: 1. A good overview of the state of agricultural soil mechanics worldwide. I was struck by the lack of direction and novelty in some of the work in this field.

The objective of this study was to examine the distribution of tyre imposed stresses, soil displacements and soil mechanical properties as function of the soil surface geometry.

With CRDC permission, the travel award was transferred from Dr Skerritt to Ms A Hill, the diagnostics project leader; there was, however, not a change in itinerary.

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