The cotton whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a serious pest of fibre and horticultural and ornamental crops worldwide.

ACF simply contends that far too much water has been taken from the Murray Darling for irrigation and that insufficient water is left to manage in ways which meet the ecological needs of the rivers and their floodplai

Farmers have probably always realised that soil is alive. Good soil seems to have certain intangible qualities, over and above its physical structure and chemistry. There is something special about topsoil.
