The International Congress of Entomology is the premier conference in this field. There were a wide range of symposia/sessions, many with particular emphasis on topics of relevance to agriculture and cotton.

Key factors in managing transgenic Bt cottons for the future are to have an effective

resistance management strategy. An essential component of any such strategy is to

The project was established in response to grower support to promote the adoption of new technologies into sound management practices in the Balonne rivers irrigation area, St George to Dirranbandi.

Purpose: The workshop brought together soil researchers to discuss: existing research; issues arising; new developments; gaps and future directions.

For the fourth season, the CRDC have commissioned a survey to examine the impact of, INGARD Cotton, (by Monsanto) on pesticide use in the Australian cotton industry.
