After much consideration the project grant for a thermocycler (CRDC197C) was used to purchase an Eppendorf Mastercycler gradient machine.

in previous studies we have indicated a relationship between a decline in macro-invertebrate population densities and riverine endosulfan concentrations measured using passive samplers (Hyne et al.

Catchment, water resources and agricultural management are undergoing significant and difficult change in the Northern Murray-Darling Basin (NMDB).

The health status of male farmers in Australia, especially injury related is worse than their urban peers.

The silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci B type) is a world-wide pest on many crops, with a particular appetite for cotton.

The effects of rotation crops and their management on soil properties of Vertosols, cotton yield and profitability were monitored from 1993 to 2001 in 3 irrigated field trials in NSW (Warren in the Macquarie valley, a

Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) and H. punctigera (Wallengren) are serious pests of cotton in Australia. These pests constitute a continually increasing production cost for most field crops,
