The overall aim of the project was to carry out research to aid the safe and rapid adoption and implementation of genetically engineered viral insecticides into the Australian Cotton Industry.

One hundred & seventy people were given training in soil assessment and management Hands-on training in soil management was given to one hundred & seventy members of the Australian cotton industry at a series

Objectives: To purchase a new autosampler in order to provide faster, more accurate analysis of cotton samples.

Dr Christian was invited to attend the USDA-ARS's Helicoverpa/Heliothis (H/H) Meeting in College Station Texas on 7 and 8 October 1997.

OBJECTIVES OF TRAVEL To attend the 1 lth Biennial Conference of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society (APPS), present a paper on recent research from CRDC Project DANlOOC and attend a practical workshop on disease

The commonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.

A variety of proteins were purified from cotton seeds and were analysed by amino acid sequence determination (automated Edman degradation) and by state-of-the-art electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESMS).

This project aimed to estimate the capacity of Helicoverpa armigera to develop resistance to INGARD cotton, to examine the possibility of cross-resistance to other Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins and to elucidate t

Aims: 1. Identify the most appropriate cotton plant types or varieties for dry season production in NW Australia based on characteristics of yield, quality and maturity 2.

This project helped to identify the factors that affected the efficacy of transgenic Bt cotton plants to control Helicoverpa punctigera and H. armigera.

The results of disease surveys have indicated a declining incidence of Verticillium wilt and seedling diseases and an alarming increase in the prevalence of Fusarium wilt, black root rot and Alternaria leaf spot.

Aims : To utilise the Cotton Research Unit (CRU) and the Agricultural Production Systems Research Unit (APSRU) modelling capabilities to identify where and how cotton management can be improved and to deliver these ou

The objectives of the project were (I) to evaluate potential biocontrol agents for seedling disease control, (2) to evaluate potential biocontrol agents for the control of Verticillium wilt of cotton and (3) to develo

In early season growth disorder, or 'bacterial stunt', bacteria infect the roots of cotton and inhibit plant growth and VAM development.

Development of sustainable, efficient, integrated weed management systems for cotton production is the primary goal of the weeds programs (CRDC and CRC funded).

The CSIRO cotton breeding program based at Narrabri has been very successful in developing varieties adapted to all cotton production regions in Australia.

A workshop entitled _Microbial Indicators of River Health_ was held at Macquarie University, Sydney, on 31 July- 1 August 1997.

The CRDC Strategic Plan 1998-2003 outlines CRDC's investment priorities and strategy for this five year period.

To achieve consistency in data sets and to assist in interpretation and comparison of results, at the beginning of this program, the Land and Water Resources R&D Corporation (LWRRDC) requested that common protocol

The goal of this project was to determine a process for successful technology transfer and adoption at a pilot scale, in relation to attempting to identify and evaluate technologies to enable farmers to make informed
