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.

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.

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.

ABSTRACT

This project aimed to identify factors that could substantially influence Bt efficacy in transgenic cotton. Cry1Ac protein concentration in cotton leaves was measured quantitatively using a commercial ELISA assay.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Stinkbugs are emerging pests in cotton. In conventional cotton the use of broad-spectrum insecticides to kill Helicoverpa spp.

Aims, * To co-ordinate the adoption of research into sound management, practices in the Gwydir Valley cotton-growing region., The position has contributed to this general aim through most extension, activities which a

Cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) is a late season pest of cotton, with the potential to

reduce the value of lint by contaminating it with sticky honeydew secretions. Recently, cotton

The Australian cotton industry is heavily dependent on chemical insecticides for pest control.

To establish if the spider communities in cotton at different locations around Australia are similar, we sampled, using beatsheets and pitfall traps, over 4500 spiders from seven locations extending from the tropical

The significance of transgenic cotton in the pest control strategy adopted by the

Australian industry makes the management of resistance to the Cry1Ac toxin of Bacillus
