The silver leaf white fly (Bemisia tabaci B type) is a world-wide pest on many crops, with a particular appetite for cotton.

The aim of the project was to provide cotton advisers and leading growers in the Hillston district (lower Lachlan Valley, NSW) with the latest information about soil assessment and management for the sustainable produ

Dryland cotton fanning systems are complex and usually comprise of a number of different rotational crops in conjunction with summer and winter fallows.

The cornmonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.

This symposium was the first conference held specifically for biological control of arthropods and follows the successful model of four-yearly symposia for biological control of weeds.

The project initially aimed at assessing the potential of Eretmocerus mundus (APF) as a control agent for silverleaf whitefly (SLW).

The initial BMP Manual focussed on pesticide use. This project aimed to explore the requirements for expanding the focus of the BMP manual, and the BMP program, to all relevant natural resource management issues.

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

The Cotton Rivers and Climate Change project assesses the impacts of climate change on water resources in the Gwydir, Border and Condamine-Balonne River Systems of north-east NSW and southern Queensland.

INGARD® Cotton varieties express Bt toxin in all plant parts except for the flowers.

Cotton aphid (Aphis gossipy) and green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) are prominent pests in many of Australia's cotton regions The importance of aphid has increased in recent times due to their association with co

Trap cropping is an established technology within many IPM systems for a broad range of

crops. Successful trap crops act as diversionary hosts for key pests, attracting and

Cotton prices vary for all sorts of reasons including seasonal conditions in major producing countries, exchange rate changes, world economic conditions and of course government subsidies and market distortions.

Heliothis (Helicoverpa sp.) pupae that overwinter in the soil have a high risk of carrying insecticide resistance into the next season.

The development of IPM systems in cotton hinges on the availability of information on a wide range of issues.

The minirhizotron system was purchased and field use commenced in January 2002.

The Soil-Water Laboratory has been set up with a $45,000 grant from the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) and funding from the University’s own Sesqui major equipment grant program.

This project arose from the 'Fibre Plus' workshops at Narrabri coordinated by both the Cotton CRC and the CRDC.

Cotton production in Australia has traditionally been conducted using surface irrigation techniques on heavy clay soils.

The aims of this scientific exchange, were for Dr Stephen Cattle to travel to, Texas A&M University and work with Dr Richard Drees to: (1) thoroughly analyse the collection of thin sections for a range of soil str
