Irrigating cotton requires balancing excessive vegetative growth due to abundant water supply against limited yield potential due to water restriction.

Cotton production in Australia has traditionally been conducted using surface irrigation techniques on heavy clay soils.

in previous studies we have indicated a relationship between a decline in macro-invertebrate population densities and riverine endosulfan concentrations measured using passive samplers (Hyne et al.

Cotton wax is essential for the efficient processing of cotton fibre into spun yarn. It provides a lubricating layer that reduces fibre-to-metal friction and therefore fibre breakage during mechanical processing.

This symposium was the first conference held specifically for biological control of arthropods and follows the successful model of four-yearly symposia for biological control of weeds.

The Australian cotton industry is cominttted to developing and improving its competitiveness, profitability and sustainability that ultimately leads to econointc development and job creation in rural and regional Aust

Cotton consultants have been reluctant to monitor levels of egg parasitisin, primarily because of the tiine involved in collecting eggs.

The effects of rotation crops and their management on soil properties of Vertosols, cotton yield and profitability were monitored from 1993 to 2001 in 3 irrigated field trials in NSW (Warren in the Macquarie valley, a

The aims of this scientific exchange, were for Dr Stephen Cattle to travel to, Texas A&M University and work with Dr Richard Drees to: (1) thoroughly analyse the collection of thin sections for a range of soil str

CRDC has for many years supported the development and maintenance of computer systems at The Australian Cotton Research Institute, Narrabri(previous project CSF77C).

Managing sustainable cotton production is becoming more difficult with the ever-increasing demands for limited resources.

To attend the first First International Symposium on Biological Control of Arthropods (ISBCA) in Hawaii, January 2002 (re-scheduled after September 11, 2001 events).

H. armigera and H. punctigera are important pests of cotton in Australia.

The silver leaf white fly (Bemisia tabaci B type) is a world-wide pest on many crops, with a particular appetite for cotton.

The role of a Trainee Industry Development Officer working with grower groups in the Border Rivers region, has given a good understanding of cotton industry issues and grower practices.

The health status of male farmers in Australia, especially injury related is worse than their urban peers.

The cornmonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.

The Cotton Rivers and Climate Change project assesses the impacts of climate change on water resources in the Gwydir, Border and Condamine-Balonne River Systems of north-east NSW and southern Queensland.

The assassin bug, Pristhesancus plagipennis (Walker) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a, natural enemy of bug and larval insects in both orchard and field crops. Several, studies have suggested that P.

The project initially aimed at assessing the potential of Eretmocerus mundus (APF) as a control agent for silverleaf whitefly (SLW).
