AIMS 1. To determine the mechanical and physical consequences of land preparation and harvesting on the soils and to relate these effects to soil water content. 2.

The aim of the project is twofold: to draw up a nitrogen budget for cotton under various conditions that are known to affect the crop's response to nitrogen; and to continue to develop the SJRATAC fruit model, in

ABSTRACT: When searching for an ideal mass screening technique for cotton plant antibiotic resistance to Helicoverpa spp., a 48 hour feeding on squares using final instar larvae bioassay was found to be the most suita

The first aim of this project was to define a protocol by which regeneration of cotton plants from tissue culture can be consistently and regularly achieved

Objective of Research Project: To provide growers with knowledge of the workings and relative merits of available marketing options by making them aware of each marketing methods' revenue potential and income sta

The objective of this project was to acquire graphics hardware and software to allow computerised production of high quality graphs, diagrams and maps for reports, publications and conferences.

This project has achieved its stated goals in that a gene which confers tolerance to 2,4-D has been isolated and engineered for expression in plants.

AIMS 1. To extend the understanding of compaction/degradation of Namoi grey clays (developed in previous project) to cover the range of soil types important for irrigated cotton. 2.

This project is a long-running one concerned with breeding varieties adapted to Australian conditions, growing practices and markets.

Aims: The aim of the project was to develop naturally occurring plant pathogens a s mycoherbicide biological control agents for Xanthium spp., Noogoora and Bathurst burrs.

The objectives of this study were: (i) To study the population dynamics of Heliothis on the Darling Downs and to quantify the significance of the major controlling influences (predators, parasites pathogens, weather a

.

The number of methods of marketing open to Australian cotton growers has increased in recent years, providing growers with an opportunity to better manage financial risk.

The aim of the project was to test the feasibility of using DNA probes to enumerate microorganisms involved in the degradation .of herbicides in soil.

This project was concerned with providing fibre quality data on research, especially breeding, samples. It was run by the Division of Textile Industry at Geelong, Victoria.
