The initial BMP Manual focussed on pesticide use. This project aimed to explore the requirements for expanding the focus of the BMP manual, and the BMP program, to all relevant natural resource management issues.

Cotton aphid (Aphis gossipy) and green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) are prominent pests in many of Australia's cotton regions The importance of aphid has increased in recent times due to their association with co

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.

The minirhizotron system was purchased and field use commenced in January 2002.

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.

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

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.

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.

Under conditions of reduced water availability, research over a number of years has indicated that optimum area to irrigate is that which allows around 5 to 6 ML per ha for the irrigated crop.

A national workshop was convened by National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) to establish the need for national standards for rrigated crop water balance and crop evapotranspiration (ETc1) fiel
