Knowledge is one of our most valuable and intangible assets.

Submerged water plants (aquatic macrophytes) are a desirable component of shallow lakes and wetlands, and management activities should be directed to ensure their continual presence.

CRDC's Annual Operating Plan for 2004–06 (AOP): the second annual operating plan under the CRDC's Strategic R&D Plan 2003–2008.

The emergence of multiple resistance to insecticides in Helicoverpa populations has had a significant impact on the production of most major field crops in Australia.

Fusarium wilt is considered by many growers, ginners, consultants and other industry personnel as the most important constraint to sustainable cotton production to have developed in recent years.

Scientific Exchange USA Scientist Dr Tom Sinclair (USDA/University of, Florida) to Narrabri, Following the International Crop Science Congress last year we were presented with a, unique opportunity to host internation

Trichogramma limit pest damage to Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) cotton crops by killing the developing embryo of their insect host at the egg stage, effectively reducing the number of emergent pests ingesting trans

Since the first reported control failures at Emerald during the 1998-99 cotton season, insecticide resistance in cotton aphid, has emerged as a significant threat to the Australian cotton industry.

The current project was devised in the knowledge that increased sodicity and salinity of percolating water will alter the saturated conductivity of many soils, especially sodic soils.

The research into aphid bio-control in cotton has documented the agents attacking cotton aphid in southern and central Queensland, and provided an indication of their relative importance.

This project investigated how key insect predators contribute to the suppression of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, in Australian cotton crops and explored the interaction between predator abundance and div

Salinisation as a consequence of irrigation can occur as a result of the application of poor quality (i.e. saline) water or mobilisation of salts from rising water tables (i.e.

Soil biota communities are one of the most diverse groups of earth’s biota.

Australian irrigated cotton growers are committed to improving their Water Use Efficiency (WUE) for economic, environmental, social and political reasons (Breen et al, 2006).

ABSTRACT

Cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) is a late season pest of cotton, with the potential to

reduce the value of lint by contaminating it with sticky honeydew secretions. Recently, cotton

To establish if the spider communities in cotton at different locations around Australia are similar, we sampled, using beatsheets and pitfall traps, over 4500 spiders from seven locations extending from the tropical

In growing their crops Australian cotton farmers need to comply with Australian regulations.

Aims, * To co-ordinate the adoption of research into sound management, practices in the Gwydir Valley cotton-growing region., The position has contributed to this general aim through most extension, activities which a
