On 21st November, at Narrabri, over forty Workshop participants,

mostly ginners, developed and discussed the following introductory

Best Management Practice for the Australian Cotton Ginning

A major challenge for the insect pest management is responding to resistance.The spread of resistance 'genes' throughout a population depends upon initital frequencies, dominance, fitness consequences and th

This report outlines the results of surveys conducted by of their

membership and cotton growers from across the production valleys in eastern Australia.

This project aimed to fill a gap that existed in developing management strategies in the field that optimised cotton fibre properties.

I would like to report on CSITC results for the 2nd pilot trial and the benefits to CCAA Classing Facilities to continue in this program.

The salts of many essential plant nutrients are soluble in water and may be applied to plant leaves directly as a foliar fertiliser.

Eretmocerus hayati was first released in late Oct 2004 and over the next 2.5 years it has since spread has far south as the Sydney Basin, west into the northern NSW cotton production areas and in Qld from the NSW bord

I was invited to speak in a symposium on monitoring for resistance to Bt at the 2006 combined Meetings of the Society of Invertebrate Pathology and VIII International Conference on Bacillus thuringiensis (ICBt).

Allocations of river and groundwater have been traditionally treated separately in Australia and many other parts of the world even though in many regions groundwater and river systems are hydraulically connected.

Findings at a glance

Water availability and the related subject of climate change is the primary issue facing the

With increasing focus on water used in agriculture and continued pressure to maximise efficiency within cotton irrigated systems, this project aimed to improve understanding of irrigation management within emerging sy

The CRDC project funds for “Operational Costs for Cotton Experiments” is used to fund cotton experimental trials at the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI).

I attended the International Cotton Genomics Initiative meeting in Brazil on 18,19, 20 September, 2006. I replaced Curt Brubaker who, because he had left CSIRO, was unable to attend.

The focus of the project has been to provide support for growers and consultants of broadacre crops, as they attempt to implement IPM.

This PhD project aims to determine the mechanisms, by which soil sodicity impacts on the uptake of nutrients and growth of cotton crops, in order that soil sodium levels can be factored into crop nutritional managemen

This project combined two projects previously supported by the CRDC and one by the Cotton CRC that contributed to the development of decision tools for the cotton industry.

This project has part funded field operation costs charged by NSW DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri in 2006/07.
