The role of a Trainee Industry Development Officer working with grower groups in the Border Rivers region, has given a good understanding of cotton industry issues and grower practices.

Cotton fibres are single epidermal cells developed from the ovule.

Catchment, water resources and agricultural management are undergoing significant and difficult change in the Northern Murray-Darling Basin (NMDB).

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Helicoverpa spp are considered the most damaging insect pests of cotton in Australia and consequently have attracted considerable research attention.

Plant diseases are currently threatening the productivity and sustainability of the cotton industry.
