To achieve a greater understanding of the regulation of cotton fibre differentiation, more fundamental information is needed on the signals and mechanisms associated with fibre initiation.

Aims and Milestones, *Support the HydroLOGIC Help Desk, and providing assistance to growers and crop, consultants.

To extend and promote the adaptation and adoption of new technologies into sound management practices in the Border Rivers region including the Macintyre Valley and Mungindi areas.
