Cotton production in Central Queensland will continue to impose a unique set of challenges due to climate and it’s remoteness from other production areas.

The research into aphid bio-control in cotton has documented the agents attacking cotton aphid in southern and central Queensland, and provided an indication of their relative importance.

Helicoverpa spp. are arguably Australia’s most important insect pests, costing the

economy $200-300M annually. Significant advances in the management of

Fusarium wilt is considered by many growers, ginners, consultants and other industry personnel as the most important constraint to sustainable cotton production to have developed in recent years.

Scientific Exchange USA Scientist Dr Tom Sinclair (USDA/University of, Florida) to Narrabri, Following the International Crop Science Congress last year we were presented with a, unique opportunity to host internation

ABSTRACT

Since the first reported control failures at Emerald during the 1998-99 cotton season, insecticide resistance in cotton aphid, has emerged as a significant threat to the Australian cotton industry.

Genetic engineering to confer useful agronomic and fibre traits will lower the cost and time

required for producing improved cotton varieties and will promote environmentally-friendly

The current project was devised in the knowledge that increased sodicity and salinity of percolating water will alter the saturated conductivity of many soils, especially sodic soils.

Temperature plays a critical and complicated role in the growth and development of cotton.

Limitations on the availability of irrigation water in eastern Australia has created

interest in the possibility of re-establishing cotton in the Oof

This project investigated how key insect predators contribute to the suppression of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, in Australian cotton crops and explored the interaction between predator abundance and div

Salinisation as a consequence of irrigation can occur as a result of the application of poor quality (i.e. saline) water or mobilisation of salts from rising water tables (i.e.

Soil biota communities are one of the most diverse groups of earth’s biota.

Australian irrigated cotton growers are committed to improving their Water Use Efficiency (WUE) for economic, environmental, social and political reasons (Breen et al, 2006).

CRDC's Annual Operating Plan for 2004–06 (AOP): the second annual operating plan under the CRDC's Strategic R&D Plan 2003–2008.

Submerged water plants (aquatic macrophytes) are a desirable component of shallow lakes and wetlands, and management activities should be directed to ensure their continual presence.

Knowledge is one of our most valuable and intangible assets.
