The objects of the seminar were: * To bring together research and extension staff from within the grains and cotton Industries to exchange information about their respective research, development and extension program

The key elements of the research were l) to determine the distribution and diversity of parasitoids of Bemisia tabaci already in Australia 2) to determine whether these parasitoids have the potential to control SL W.

An industrial shed (9 x 12m) with concrete flooring and roller door access was constructed at ACRI in November 1998. The shed was sited in close proximity to other sample processing buildings.

This book is the product of a project jointly funded by the RIRDC/LWRRDC/FWPRDC Joint Venture Agroforestry Program and the Cotton R&D Corporation.

This report examines available deposition data and assesses the performance of two mathematical models in predicting the relative drift profile of UL V and EC formulations of endosulfan as used in the Australian cotto

Update Canberra biotechnology group on the ecology and severity of fusarium wilt of cotton with a view to deciding whether novel genes being researched may be used in cotton

The aim is to house current and future staff for expanded research projects. The better accommodation will improve the facility for work from existing projects and also allow new initiatives to be undertaken

The aim of this study was to construct a microsatellite library for the pest moth Heliothis armigera and to use this library to investigate temporal shifts in population structure.

Objectives of the Study Tour For the duration of the study tour, I travelled with three other Australian Cotton Extension Officers.

A survey of cotton growers in 1992 (CRDC Project DAN 76C) showed widespread interest in the use of rotation crops, plus a need for more information about the benefits of legume rotations and the effect of rotation man

Plants respond to infection by increasing the levels of several proteins, known as PR (pathogen response) proteins (Ward et al., 1991).

The focus of this project included several aims.

The current, first edition of the Best Management Practices Manual was developed as part of the joint research program"Minimising the Impacts of Pesticides on the Riverine Environment'', which was funde

This report is based on data gathered with the assistance of the membership of Cotton Consultants Australia Inc. (CCA) and covers all major cotton growing regions in Australia.

The handbook is divided into two parts and nine sections. It is anticipated that growers will want to refer more frequently to sections on ground spraying technology, safety, handling and application.

Aim: To build a new glasshouse to provide a facility for basic research into plant I herbivore interactions
