A growth disorder of cotton has been observed in irrigated cracking clay soils in fields at Galathera Creek, north of the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI) for several years.

Objectives of visit: To attend the 13th Conference of the International Soil Tillage Research Organization (ISTRO) and present paper entitled "Effect of soil preparation method and cotton-based cropping system on

The comparative advantage1 of cotton production was examined for three production systems in the United States and four production systems within Australia.

A paper was presented at the fourth international Trichogramma and other egg parasitoid conference titled 'Evaluating egg parasitoids for integrated pest management in Australian raingrown cotton.' Highlight

Two fields of cotton on two nearby farms in the Macquarie Valley of NSW which had different histories of weed management were studied to determine if weed seeds were being introduced via irrigation water.

This project aimed to continue the steady improvements in developing improved cotton varieties adapted to Australian growing conditions and markets

The aims of the CRDC project CSE 29C were: - to optimise the design of recombinant Helicoverpa viruses with increased insecticidal activity (Activities 1 and 2 of the overall program above), - to develop suitable larg

The aim of this study was to complete the development of a mirid feeding bioassay to facilitate screening and characterization of proteinaceous toxins.

Disease surveys in November and March of each season have been undertaken on a regular basis since 1983.

Field experiments at Narrabri in 1993, 1994 and 1995 have utilised overhead sprinklers and, portable rain-out shelters.

A large collection of microorganisms with over 2000 isolates has been established at the Australian Cotton Research Institute for the purpose of identifying potential bio-control agents and developing biological contr

Supplementary funding was provided by the CRDC allowing three personnel ($1750 each, $5,250 total) from the pesticide chemistry group to attend the 8th International Congress on Pesticide Chemistry, held in Washington

Nutgrass control was examined in field and glasshouse studies. A nutgrass control strategy was developed based on Zoliar and in-crop Roundup, and infallow, cultivation in dry conditions and Roundup in wet conditions.

OBJECTIVES: 1. To study sampling and control practices for mirlds in irrigated and dryland cotton.

Modern molecular genetic techniques are used to examine Helicove1pa armigera for variation amongst individuals from different geographical locations around Australia.

In July 1994 the International Society of Soil Science held its 15th Congress in Acapulco, Mexico. Approximately 1800 ISSS members from almost 90 nations attended.

The aim of this book is to help cotton growers, field consultants and agronomists correctly identify the wide range of pests and beneficials that can be found in the crops they manage.

Capacity Sharing is an institutional arrangement and property rights structure for allocating water among multiple users of water resource systems which include storage reservoirs.
