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.

To examine the genetic similarity of cotton cultivars available in Australia, twelve cultivars of Gossypium hirsutum, together with an American Pima cotton (G.

Oils having very high levels of oleic acid have superior stability and are valuable for frying and other high temperature applications.

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? 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.

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

In this paper we present data on the effects of N fertilizer application to a wheat rotation crop on soil strength, nutrient uptake by the following cotton crop and cotton lint yields which were obtained from two stud

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.

In the following paper some of the results of this research (US05C) are shown.

Australian isolates of Fov have been characterised by using: pathogenicity tests with differential and local cotton lines ; vegetative compatibility groups (VCG) analyses and DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) ana

Research into biocontrol of cotton diseases at the ACRI began in 1991. Since thennumerous microorganisms have been tested.

Salinity problems are due to the presence of a high concentration of soluble salts in soils or waters.

This project sets out to address some of the problems associated with growing dryland cotton using reduced and notillage practices, and look for possible solutions which will allow cotton to be integrated into sustain

European Carp (Cyprinus carpio) or as it should be called carp, has been present in Australia for more than 130 years.Various strains (at least 4) are present in Australia with the strain &quote;Boolara&quote;

Production of cotton in Australia is very dependent on insecticides for the control of the major pests, Helicoverpa spp, mites and sucking insects.

One approach in the drive by the cotton industry to introduce more effective and more sustainable methods of bollworm control than are presently available, has been to develop a new generation of insecticides based on

The Australian cotton industry has been practising curative conventional insecticide resistance management for thirteen years now.

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