The objective of this project was to modify the weather station at our Breeza Australian Cotton Cultivar site to enable the use of the telephone system and the SIRATAC computer to collect the data.

objectives of the present work are the identification of the sex pheromones of Crocidosema plebejana and Pectinophora scutigera and the testing of synthetic candidate mixtures as attractants in monitor traps in the fi

Project objectives To determine the nature and extent of migratory flight in Heliothis Armigera and punctigera and to estimate the significance of migration in the formation of outbreaks and in the spread of insectici

This project started in 1981 funded by ACGRA. CRC assumed funding until the project terminated in 1986.

Installation of a Halon gas fire suppression facility has been completed at a total cost of $12,970* including the linking of the warning system to the building's fire warning system.

Heliothis armigera and H. punctigera are serious pests of cotton in Australia. Control of Heliothis is currently dependent on insecticides.

To study the response of cotton to varying nitrogen rates and times and , methods of application unde r different irrigation strategies . , To demonstrate. to cotton grower under commercial conditions.

Objectives o Determine optimum nitrogen rates for cotton under a range of conditions. o Determine the best time to apply this nitrogen.

The aims of the project are to provide a basis for sound irrigation management of cotton through studies of: � (i) Crop response to a range of irrigation management options in terms of crop irrigation efficiency (yiel

The application of the chemical technique developed in DAQ27L in determining the age of field collected adults of Pectinophora scutigera (pinkspotted bollworm).

Changes in Helicoverpa populations in non cropping areas

Heliothis armigera and H. punctigera are serious pests of cotton in Australia. Control of Heliothis is currently dependent on insecticides.

Despite it's status as a pest of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in Central Queensland, the biology and ecology of the pink-spotted bollworm, Pectinophora scutigera (Holdaway), is poorly understood.

Advanced breeding selections initially selected at Biloela outyielded CSIRO selections initially selected at Narrabri. In contrast, the Biloela selections were low yielders when tested in New South Wales (NSW).

Large scale trials of SIRA TAC comparing standard and dynamic thresholds were done for three years on commercial farms along the length of the Namoi valley.

Three methods of determining levels of resistance in H.armigera were evaluated. These included: (i) a standard glass vial test (ii) a tropical application (iii) a leaf disc test
