PROJECT OBJECTIVES To monitor pyrethroid, endosulfan, organophosphate and carbamate resistance in H. armigera and H. punctigera. from all cotton areas and to refine resistance management strategies.

The Kimberley region of Western Australia is one of the most prospective for a significant expansion of the Australian cotton industry into northern Australia.

Aims * To evaluate treatments that inhibit or restrict microbial degradation to cotton when the seed cotton harvest is delayed by wet weather.

Aims * To quantify the relationship between cotton plant spatial arrangement and soil water dynamics, and its effect on raingrown cotton yield and quality.

The objects of the seminar were: * To bring together research and extension staff from within the grains and cotton Industries to exchange information about their respective research, development and extension program
