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

Changes in Helicoverpa populations in non cropping areas

Project aims: (i) to investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of Heliothis adult and larval abundance, mortality and host use by each species and their dispersal from other crops into cotton.

The overall aim of the soils research program based at Trangie has been to develop management strategies that maximise the profitability of irrigated cropping by: (i) correcting yield limiting soil physical problems;

The main aim of this trip was to report to the international scientific community on the progress of the Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy that has been implemented in Australia to contain pyrethroid and endo

In addressing this topic I have been asked to consider the development of management strategies for farmers faced with a shortage of irrigation water, a situation that appears endemic in the Gwydir Valley.

It rained a lot, and much cotton was picked on wet soil - but how much damage was, or will be, done to the soil? It is worth bearing in mind the description given in the handbook on Soil Management by Davies et al.

Ripping (deep soil working ) can give conflicting responses. Sometimes it i ncreases cotton yields and other times it de creases cotton yields.

This paper address why there are differences in the soils of the lower Namoi Valley.

I will admit, nonetheless, that there are opportunities to be grasped on occasions such as this, since one can use them (whether they be publicly documented or not) to say things that wquld be inappropriate in one&#03

One of the aims of this project is to assess the N fertiliser requirements of cotton under more enlightened tillage systems currently being adopted.

The successful application of Agrochemicals involves an understanding of the:- target, product, equipment, droplet behaviour, and the environment.

Australian Cotton Conference. I have been asked to speak to you on the effects on the industry of the US Farm Bill and other political moves.

Chemical Farming implies the use of chemicals for the control of insects, weeds and diseases.

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics is one of the few organisations that publish cotton pri ce forecasts t o assist growers in making their planting decisions.

This can cover an enormous area because not only does technology intrude into every aspect of growing a crop, by the view of it can change drastically with each different farmer.

I have to tell you now that I will not be presenting such a perspective.

AZADIRACHTIN is a terpinoid chemical !ound in Meliaceous trees (e.q. White Cedar) but especially concentrated in the seeds of the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica).
