A walk-in cool room was originally planned to be part of the new cotton breeding/pathology wing at the Australian Cotton Research Institute but was deleted during the construction phase due to budget constraints.

Objectives The objectives were to produce a pocket sized booklet which contained important BMP information for groundrig operators, including growers operating their own rigs.

This report has been prepared as a cotton management tool for the cotton growers and their consultants in the Darling Downs Cotton Management Group.

A Pilot Study carried out in a NSW cotton crop in 1993 showed that lint and seed production could be improved by up to 25% by honey bee pollination.

Project objectives a * Prepare cDNA libraries from young cotton ovules at the time fibre cells begin to initiate.* Sequence 2500 clones from the cotton cDNA libraries

OBJECTIVES * Quantify and compare the population densities of beneficial soil fauna! groups in commercial irrigated cotton fields that are managed using conventional, lngard, and Envirofeast technologies.

objectives . To quantify the effects from multi-herbicide use on key soil biological processes in soils 2.

For the fourth season, the CRDC have commissioned a survey to examine the impact of INGARD Cotton, (by Monsanto) on pesticide use in the Australian cotton industry.

The review examines semiochemicals, substances or mixtures of substances emitted by one species that can be used to modify the behaviour of receptor organisms, and the role of these semiochemicals, particularly those

The transport mechanisms and fate of cotton pesticides and nutrients were investigated as part of a major R&D program undertaken by the cotton industry in the early 1990 s.

The work proposed in this project will: (a) Use the capacity of the model to integrate responses of cotton to Insect damage and to varying environmental conditions to yield improved tools for pest management that can

The purpose of this project was to assess the current status of water use efficiency of the cotton industry at both crop and farm level using historical water management infomation from commercial producers and existi

The primary aim of this study was to investigate a range of strategies for the identification of molecular markers linked with Verticillium wilt response in cotton.

Extracted term, , The grant was used to employ two consultants expert in the field of aircraft testing - CP AS (Mr. Nicholas Woods) and Spraycheck Pty Ltd (Mr. Graeme Barrett) and their supporting teams.

Project Objectives and Extent of Completion The project aims were: 1.

Objectives 1. Establish lines of known parentage from available resistant strains of H. armigera (derived from VICRATS and RATS from Dr Neil Forrester, formally NSW Agriculture) 2.

The workshop was convened in order to focus on the water balance of cotton crops and catchments where the crop is grown. Most research on water in cotton has been problem-oriented.

The aims of this project were two-fold.

The aim of this project was to test whether observed patterns in historical Helicoverpa abundance data were consistent with our understanding of moth flight behaviour, and to measure the effects of moth movement on th

This study is aimed at improving the quality of cotton lint by reducing the fibre to metal friction in the ginning of seed cotton.
