Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov), is a destructive disease of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) in almost all cotton producing countries of the world.

This document highlights the performance of Bollgard cotton in the Australian Industry during the 2004-05 season.

This pilot study involved the processing of five bales of cotton, representing

three varieties i.e. Sicala 3508, Sicala 60BR and Sicot 289BR, into ringspun

Managing sustainable cotton production is becoming more difficult with the ever-increasing demand on limited resources.

The objective of the mission was to promote Australian cotton as being ‘clean and green’ following the BMP and EMS marketing initiatives amongst Indonesian traders and spinners.

Ultra-narrow row (UNR) cotton, a production system with rows spaced less than 40cm apart, has been proposed as the ideal system for earlier maturity without substantial yield loss.

Several issues developing around Bt crops [chickpea, pigeonpea, sorghum] at ICRISAT. Considerable difficulties with achieving high expression and lack of clear understanding of deployment or management needs.

"Evaluation of yield component changes in Australian cotton cultivars":The aim of this summer scholarship project was to measure the changes that have occurred in the yield components of Australian cotton cu

This project validated and enhanced the use of the BDI as a measure of the relative disruption

(‘softness’/’hardness’) of the insecticide regimes applied to cotton fields. The project focused on two

The IPM Training Coordinator position was created to development, lead and, implement a grower focused short course relating to cotton IPM.

The course covered an introduction to IP, what types of IP existed(copywright, PBR, patents) and what is involved in securing IP (costs and duration). Several cases were presented to the participants as examples.

Cotton growers are facing increasing pressure to manage resources more cost effectively and to be more accountable for the impact their decisions have on the surrounding environment.

Since the inaugural Field to Fabric course in August 2005 the course has been

presented 3 times in 2006 and twice in 2007. Feedback from participants has been
