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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The purpose of the tour was to study and experience through participation the development and extension methodologies and practices used in the transfer and adoption of new technology in the American cotton industry b

OBJECTIVES 1. To undertake a comprehensive sutvey of the Australian distribution of B. biotype B. tabaci . 2. To sutvey cotton for the presence of B, biotype B. tabaci 3. 4.

A vision guidance system has been designed, built and commissioned which steers a tractor relative to the rows of a crop such as cotton.
