My attending the conference and visit to Texas has provided an opportunity to update on recent US research and experience and has enabled me to meet a number of US cotton researchers.

The main reason I had applied for funds to attend the conference was to present a poster on aspects of my project so as to receive essential feedback on my research and also to collaborate with scientific experts in s

The commonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.

This travel grant (ANU5C) was in support of a postgraduate scholarship (ANU3C) granted for research into the molecular biology of gossypol biosynthesis in cotton.

Early in 1997, the Land and Water Resources R&D Corporation (LWRRDC) decided to experiment with the application of the process of foresighting across a range of its programs.

The First Australasian Soilborne Disease (ASDS) was held 9-12 February 1999 on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

This project aimed to improve technical capability to study the transport off-farm in i water and on sediments of pesticides such as endosulfan and members of the 'benzoyphenylurea (BPU) family.

These proceedings represent the outcomes of one of Australia's most successful R&D programs in natural resources management - minimisation of the impact of pesticides on the riverine environment.

Over the past two hundred years we have physically and biologically degraded many Australian streams.

The objectives were to provide a reliable method for quantifying the Cry1Ac produced by transgenic cotton plants and to use this to examine the changes in Cry1Ac levels during a field season.

The Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) asked the University of Queensland to undertake a study to indicate socio-economic areas for research for the cotton industry.

The objective of this study is to examine the scope for further research irito certain quality characteristics of Australian cotton which are seen by many cotton industry participants as critical areas for improvement

There were at least ten commercial fields of Ingard in the 1996/97 season with low efficacy pre flowering and requiring up to three insecticide sprays.

This project was designed to: * Review all available sources of analytical and research data regarding the binding and potential for remobilisation of endosulfan on bottom sediments * Based on the results of the revie

The project aims are: * Construction of additional cages to isolate field-collected strains of A. gossypii. * Establishment of additional base-line data.

In response to requests by local grower organisations in CQ, the Cotton Research & Development Corporation (CRDC) commissioned research project DAQ81C to address GMAC and NRA concerns regarding the effectiveness o
