Project Objective: A new project with the objectives of: * to supply equipment to accurately weigh cotton from field trips.

A workshop convened by the Cooperative Research Centre for Tropical Pest Management at Narrabri on 7-8 December 1992 examined the feasibility, benefits, and funding implications of providing an operational forecasting

Funded by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation under the general topic "Physical and Chemical Studies of Cotton Fibre Maturity", the project has focused on searching for links between the morpholo

The aims of this project, viz: (i) To purchase an item of equipment necessary for the extraction and analyses of allelochemicals present in cotton varieties under evaluation for their rcsi~tance to insect pests (ii) T

The Computer System Manager at NARS oversees all aspects of the function and services provided by the NARS Computer Facility.

The objective of this project being the purchase of new discs and uninterruptable powersupply to reduce disruption in computer system availability for clients has been fully met

This grant provides foods for the annual maintenance contract for the Vax 4000 computer system at NARS. The system has been installed and operational since October 5, 1990.

Aims: 1 * Develop a simple mite management package using data collected relating mite infestations to cotton yield loss. * Complete development and validation of functional sampling procedures.

A self propelled high powered; high clearance insecticide sprayer is now available to cotton growers. As with all products development continues.

Aims: (i) To evaluate the pest resistance of cotton cultivars bearing different combinations of morphological and allelochemical resistance factors in field experiments.

Objectives 1. To develop a method for the measurement of mass flow of anhydrous ammonia fluid. 2.

Objectives To enhance technology transfer between researchers, consultants and farmers and to develop approptiate commercial technology for farmer adoption.

Growing other crops in rotation with cotton appears to offer the best prospect for long term viability of the cotton industry.

This Project was a preliminary study to develop an R&D program into CT based farming systems for the dryland cotton industry.

A February 1993 meeting of the Chief Executives from the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRCD), Rural Water Corporation of Victoria, NSW Department of Water Resources and Queensland De

This project studied the factors responsible for frequency changes in endosulfan resistance.in populations of H. armigera in cotton.

Despite the broad title, the project has concentrated on transverse dimensions of fibres, notably maturity in all of its aspects.
