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.

The performance of the first generation of transgenic (INGARD) plants released in Australia since 1996 was disappointing at a commercial level, despite the considerable reduction in pesticide usage required to grow th

The silverleaf whitefly, B-biotype Bemisia tabaci, first detected in Australia in 1999, has

become a major pest on cotton in central Queensland. The silverleaf whitefly is also found,

Heliothine caterpillars and silverleaf whitefly (SLW) are the major pests of field crops in central Queensland (CQ).

Cotton R&D Corporation funds for the project entitled ‘Operational Costs for Cotton Experiments’ were used to fund cotton experimental trials at the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI).

Over the past 10 years the rapid uptake of IPM and transgenic cotton has allowed a dramatic reduction in the use of insecticides in cotton.

At a July 2004 meeting of the CHCG&IA Research and Technical Subcommittee it was resolved that DPI&F research staff develop a strategy to meet the regional R&D needs of the Emerald area, as identified in a

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.

In eastern Australia, Vettosols are widely utilised for the production of irrigated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) due to their inherent fertility and large water-holding capacity. However, irrigated

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.

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

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

Insecticide resistance in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera has been one of the greatest limitations to successful pest control and economic cotton production in Australia.

Well designed irrigation storages and water courses on cotton farms can aid in the removal of sediment, nutrients and pesticides from irrigation water and enhance their habitat value for native plants and animals.

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.

On the land and in country towns, the battle to survive goes on forever. Increasingly, the world needs food and fibre, but squeezes out the communities which provide them.
