This study investigated whether transgenic cotton plants have established in environments, away from cotton farms as a consequence of whole cottonseed being used as a feed, supplement on dairy farms on the Atherton Tablelands. Whole cottonseed, commonly referred, to as fuzzy seed or cottonseed (seed after ginning with short fibres retained on the seed coat), is sourced from gins in central Queensland (Emerald region) and transported via road to this, northern market. The potential for transgenic cottonseed to be transported north is dependent, on the area of transgenic cotton grown in the preceding cotton season within this Emerald, region. In the season prior to the conduct of this survey the Insecticide Resistance, Management Strategy for Ingard cotton had restricted the use of this transgene to 30% of the, total area and only 4% Roundup Ready had been grown.,
