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

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

Since the early 1960s, global agricultural output has increased at rates and to levels that are unprecedented in human history Much of the productivity increase is attributed to the breeding of high-yielding crop vari

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.

Currently, the qualities that are being engineered into cotton relate to crop management issues such as insect-resistance (Frutos et al.

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

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.

The International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE) exists to promote the understanding of interactions between organisms and their environment that are mediated by naturally occurring chemicals.

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

Cotton fibres are single epidermal cells developed from the ovule.

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

The workshop sought to achieve a number of outcomes including to: increase national attention on inland rivers; converge ideas from the numerous people involved guide the emergence of principles, issues and actions on

The Box-Ironbark ecosystem in northern Victoria has been substantially cleared, and is not well represented in conservation reserves.

Outline the background to the project., My current role within the Australian Cotton CRC and CSIRO involves the, development, application and field-testing of computerised decision support tools in, the cotton industr

It is widely recognized that &quote;Plant diseases are a man-made problem&quote;. Our current farming systems are 'pathogen-friendly'.

Water-use efficiency of cotton production and minimising the impact of the cotton industry on the environment have emerged as issues of great importance.

Attract and kill formulations are ideal tools for inclusion in IPM strategies to control insect pests, as they can be targeted at a single pest species without affecting beneficial insects, or creating secondary pest
