For the fourth season, the CRDC have commissioned a survey to examine the impact of INGARD Cotton, (by Monsanto) on pesticide use in the Australian cotton industry.

The review examines semiochemicals, substances or mixtures of substances emitted by one species that can be used to modify the behaviour of receptor organisms, and the role of these semiochemicals, particularly those

The transport mechanisms and fate of cotton pesticides and nutrients were investigated as part of a major R&D program undertaken by the cotton industry in the early 1990 s.

The work proposed in this project will: (a) Use the capacity of the model to integrate responses of cotton to Insect damage and to varying environmental conditions to yield improved tools for pest management that can

The purpose of this project was to assess the current status of water use efficiency of the cotton industry at both crop and farm level using historical water management infomation from commercial producers and existi

The primary aim of this study was to investigate a range of strategies for the identification of molecular markers linked with Verticillium wilt response in cotton.

Extracted term, , The grant was used to employ two consultants expert in the field of aircraft testing - CP AS (Mr. Nicholas Woods) and Spraycheck Pty Ltd (Mr. Graeme Barrett) and their supporting teams.

Project Objectives and Extent of Completion The project aims were: 1.

Objectives 1. Establish lines of known parentage from available resistant strains of H. armigera (derived from VICRATS and RATS from Dr Neil Forrester, formally NSW Agriculture) 2.

The workshop was convened in order to focus on the water balance of cotton crops and catchments where the crop is grown. Most research on water in cotton has been problem-oriented.

The aims of this project were two-fold.

The aim of this project was to test whether observed patterns in historical Helicoverpa abundance data were consistent with our understanding of moth flight behaviour, and to measure the effects of moth movement on th

This study is aimed at improving the quality of cotton lint by reducing the fibre to metal friction in the ginning of seed cotton.

Aims Continue to develop and field test CottonLOGIC and related management cl packages with particular emphasis on lngard cotton and later food spray technology. 2.

The project objective was to contribute to production of Helicoverpa resistant cotton cultivars by identifying proteins capable of blocking insect digestion.

This document reports the findings from a survey of drip irrigated cotton growers and equipment manufacturers conducted during May-June, 2000.

major project objectives: 1. Xcm avirulence (avr) genes as SAR triggers Characterise F1 progeny in terms of expression levels of SAR markers and tolerance to fungal infection using Verticillium and Altemaria 2.

The discovery this season of Fov in many cotton districts previously thought to be free from the disease has sent shock waves throughout the industry.

With the formation of the new Australian Cotton CRC and the possible expansion of cotton growing in the Northern Territory and in the north of Western Australia, we were requested to conduct a cotton disease survey in

CSIRO required a new prime mover and trailer to transport cone seeder or plot picker to district experiment sites for the breeding program.
