Where does the Australian cotton industry see itself in ten years time? What challenges will it face? How will it address those challenges?

Nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus) remains one of the major problem weeds of cotton production.

Weather prediction has been gradually improving over the last decade or so, with several factors contributing to the improvement.

The CSIRO breeding program at the Australian Cotton Research Institute at Narrabri aims to develop locally adapted varieties for use by Australian farmers.

The Queensland Department of Primary Industries is currently investigating IRM techniques for heliothis in cotton and some vegetable crops.

B-type Bemisia tabaci, known commonly as the 'silver leaf white fly' is in Australia and becoming more widespread. The silver leaf whitefly was first detected in Australia in October 1994.

In cotton, the best known of the secondary metabolites isolated, Gossypol, have been found to have antifungal and antitumour activity (Harborne and Baxter, 1993) and to target enzymes in the signal transduction system

This work examines the potential value of a simple measurement of labile and nonlabile soil carbon fractions to provide widely applicable monitoring indicators to assess the sustainability of cotton cropping systems.<

Historically, the wild Australian Gossypium species have played a minor role in cotton breeding.

The green mirid, Creontiades dilutus (Hemiptera: Miridae), is a serious pest of cotton in Australia (Adams and Pyke, 1982).

Over the last six or seven years, seasonal forecasts provided by the Bureau of Meteorology&#39;s National Climate Centre have been based on statistical relationships between rainfall and the EI Nino-Southern Oscil

Rapid changes in cotton farming practices and the introduction of new synthetic insecticides and control strategies over the last 10-15 years are likely to have led to significant changes in the species diversity and

While among researchers simulation models are consider to be useful tools, modelling has a badreputation in the industry. Many people feel it has very little connection with what happens in the field.

The question for plant breeders is how do we set priority in a breeding program which meet the fibre quality needs of everyone in the market place while developing competitive high yielding varieties&#63; Fibre qu

A three-year project to obtain baseline data describing the average soil condition in the lower Macintyre, Gwydir and Namoi valleys.

Historically, the wild Australian Gossypium species have played a minor role in cotton breeding.

Cotton plants expressing the CrylAc toxin from Bt are near to commercial release.

Since 1992, CSRO Cotton Research Unit has conducted large scale insect management trials in the upper and lower Namoi Valley.

The purpose of this work is to develop a technique for standard quantitative soil structural assessment using horizontal image analysis.

The sensitivity of genetic fingerprinting rests in the ability of the procedure to detect the rare or subtle differences that exist between the genes of one individual and another.
