Internationally, sticky cotton is a major concern for the textile industry (Hector & Hodkinson 1989).

Ultra-narrow row (UNR) cotton, a production system with rows spaced less than 40cm apart, has been proposed as the ideal system for earlier maturity without substantial yield loss.

Black root rot, caused by a soilborne fungus, was first observed in Australian cotton in 1989. The disease has developed rapidly since then and now occurs in most of the cotton production area in NSW and Queensland.

In eastern Australia, Vettosols are widely utilised for the production of irrigated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) due to their inherent fertility and large water-holding capacity. However, irrigated

Over the past 10 years the rapid uptake of IPM and transgenic cotton has allowed a dramatic reduction in the use of insecticides in cotton.
