The objective of the present research is to see whether altering the level of the enzyme ADH will affect the tolerance of cotton to anaerobic or waterlogged conditions.

This report summarises the findings from the CRDC funded project "Managing soils to avoid compaction problems in cotton growing". The project ran from 1989/90 to 1991/92.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In June 1993, Mr Neville Gould, Team Leader, Agricultural Engineering, NSW Agriculture, Trangie travelled to the USA for 30 days to investigate for the Australian cotton industry the issues of anhydrous ammonia applic
