This project followed on from the project funded in the last Cotton CRC 'Multi-Platform, decision support systems' that contributed to the development of the hand-held version of, CottonLOGIC as well as prov

In recent years water use has become an important issue for the cotton industry mainly due to prevailing drought, competition with other water users and environmental concerns.

The Multiple Pathways program at Goondiwindi State High Schoolis a lighthouse

example for other rural communities to engage in a training agenda. The Goondiwindi

The intent of the project was to travel to the 2003 Beltwide cotton conference in Nashville, USA.

The Leaf Chamber Fluorometer is an exciting new addition to the physiological instrumentation available to the scientists at ACRI.

The cotton industry in the Gwydir Valley, like most forms of agriculture, is reliant on a range of 'free' ecosystem, services such as clean irrigation water, breakdown of chemicals in soils and water storage

The project focussed on understanding more about the egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum.

Hibiscus trionum L. (bladder ketmia) is one of the most common weeds throughout the Australian cotton industry. There are two varieties of the weed, the narrow leaf introduced variety Hibiscus trionum var.

The original objectives were:, a.

The major challenge to sustainable use of Bt cotton is the risk that the target pests, Helicoverpa spp, may evolve resistance to the engineered toxins.

11th ACGRA Cotton Conference Programme, media coverage and survey results.

This project was based on the results of extensive research on fruits, ornamentals, vegetables and cotton (in NSW) in which the effectiveness of petroleum-derived spray oils (PDSOs) on insect and mite pests has been u

The silverleaf whitefly is characterised by a huge host range, high fecundity, the ability to induce physiological responses in plants, transmit plant viruses, the copious production of honeydew, and an extreme abilit

This project has produced data which confirmed past findings of the robustness of cotton to compensate for levels of insect damage exceeding those of current industry thresholds for Helicoverpa and mirids.

For more than a century, petroleum-derived spray oils have been used to kill

susceptible pests, principalIy scales and wites through anoxia (suffocation). This

The cotton simulation model, OZCOT, is an important component of a number of current and future projects.

To help understand the underlying basis of the resistance to pirimicarb, and hence improve the chance of effective management, Dr Robin Gunning and Dr Graham Moores (Rothamstead, UK) did a preliminary screen on resist

The overall aim of this project was to develop systems for targeting transgene expression in plants to enhance their defence responses.

The primary focus of this project is to develop sustainable, IPM based pest management systems for INGARD in north-western Australia.

Cropping systems experiments are currently being used to evaluate the sustainability of various cotton, systems. An important component is the inclusion of legume crops for grain or green manuring.
