Aims * To evaluate treatments that inhibit or restrict microbial degradation to cotton when the seed cotton harvest is delayed by wet weather.

During the 1995/96 and 1997/98 cotton-growing seasons there was an inverse relationship between the population densities of dominant benthic macroinvertebrates and concentrations of endosulfan in the Namoi River.

The theme of this edition of RipRap is looking at overseas research, knowledge and experience to see what help we can get for river and riparian management in Australia.

A series of case studies was conducted to evaluate the current status of nitrate contamination in Australia, including distribution and processes.

This is the sixth edition of a listing of L WRRDC-funded R&D - the publication also includes a list of projects sponsored by the National Land and Water Resources Audit (Audit).

This report outlines the results of a consultancy to 'Determine a Framework, Terms and Definitions for Water Use Efficiency in Irrigation'.

The principal tasks of the conference were to: * review progress in the context of agriculture and related land-use towards the principles containect in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, Ri

NEMP funded a workshop at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga in November 1997 to examine recent research into the limitations to phytoplankton growth that arise from nutrient limitation.

In early 1997, the Corporation and its partners released a series of issues papers on riparian management. These were designed for a non-technical audience, to promote awareness of riparian functions.

Abstract: The emerging focus on ecologically sustainable development (ESD) has caused a paradigm shift in the theory underpinning natural resource management. Increasingly, this shift is reflected in policy.

The aim of this publication 1s to provide a contemporary reference to Australia's research, development, education and extension activities in climate variability in relation to agriculture.

A system of 24 artificial streams was constructed on the banks of the Namoi River, New South Wales (NSW) to simulate the lotic environment of the rivers in the surrounding cotton-growing region.

The primary aim of this study was to investigate a range of strategies for the identification of molecular markers linked with Verticillium wilt response in cotton. The research was carried out on the parental G.
