A technique to identify the host crop of Heliothis moths by analysis of elemental content has been progressively developed over several seasons (CRC Project CS13L, Fin 1986).

The cotton industry is one of the most technologically advanced agricultural industries in Australia.

This project is a joint initiative of the MDBC and the cotton industry to determine an appropriate model for the introduction of an industry wide environmental audit and certification scheme.

The development of population dynamics models of heliothis populations in multi cropping systems required information on reproductive development, longevity and lifetime fecundity of adult female Heliothis in order to

The aims of the trial were: 1. To determine whether mating of H. armigera could be disrupted in cotton by mass release of pheromones; 2.

A technique to identify the host crop of Heliothis moths by analysis of elemental content has been progressively developed over several seasons(CRC Project CS13L, Fin 1986).

The purpose of the economic evaluation reported in this paper was to determine the potential benefits of the Cotton CRC's scientific research to the Australian cotton industry.

A survey form asking the cost of weed control, the major weed problems and the herbicides used was sent to fifty two cotton growers from the seven major cotton areas of New South Wales.

This report describes laboratory work carried out to evaluate and further optimise the chemical and physical formulation of the proposed new ultra-thin film product.

This flyer also has a checklist for Irrigators who can use it to assess their performance.

Fertigation is being increasingly adopted by citrus producers as an alternative to traditional approaches to supplying fertilisers to trees.

CRDC details the Australian cotton industry’s quest for sustainable competitive advantage in a new five-year strategic R&D Plan for 2008-2013

Oxygation involves mixing atmospheric air with irrigation water using a venturi and delivering it via a surface or subsurface drip irrigation system.

Field work was conducted over the 1988/89 and 1989/90 cotton growing seasons in the Central Highlands of Queensland. Pheromone dispensers, specially formulated for P.

In January 1983, pyrethroids failed to give satisfactory field control of Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) at Emerald in central Queensland.

This study determined the genetic basis of pyrethroid resistance in Heliothis armigera and characterised those factors that lead to cyclical fluctuations in the frequency of resistance in field populations.

In Australia the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is regarded as a major pest of cotton. However, neither the pest status nor the ecology of spider mattes on cotton has been studied.

Research on irrigated soils used for cotton production at the Agricultural Research Centre, Narrabri, over the past six years has identified several areas of concern.

In this edition of Spotlight, we bring you a snapshot of how the industry is working together to alleviate the 'people shortage'.

This report captures the key principles of sustainable irrigation at the farm scale. And is an update including recent research.
