The primary aims of the scoping study were to determine: * dominant and difficult-to-control weed species in each crop and fallow component of the different crop rotations used for dryland cotton production in the nor

An automatic flow analyser was purchased to analyse nitrate, phosphate, chloride and sulfate. The monies for the instrument were a combination of CRDC, Australian Cotton CRC and University of Sydney funding.

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.

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.

'Biodiversity' refers to the diversity of genes, species, ecosystems and ecoregions. Like other

sectors in the Australian economy, the cotton industry has a duty of care to ensure its

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

The aim of this report is to provide a picture of how IPM is working on the ground, by giving an understanding of the thoughts of cotton growers and consultants in relation to IPM.

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

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

CSIRO and the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) commissioned the Centre for International Economics (CIE) to undertake a benefit cost analysis of the research work done by the CSIRO Cotton Research Un

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.

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.

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

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

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 publication forms part of the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation Irrigation Insights series.

This Technical Guideline Update restates the ecological values associated with wood in streams (upland and lowland), with additional emphasis on associated floodplains and wetlands.

This project was instigated to assess whether the National Riparian Lands R&D Program 'Demonstration and Evaluation' Projects (NRLPD&EP) of Land & Water Australia (LWA) have built 'capacity&
