Talstar (bifenthrin) was registered at the beginning of the 1993/94 season for control of Helicoverpa spp. and two-spotted mite in Australian cotton.

Water is one of the key resources for industry and economic development in Australia. It is one of the main inputs to maximise the production of the cotton plant.

The 1997-98 season saw the re-investigation of ultra-narrow row cotton ("UNR" cotton) as an alternative production system.

Cotton crops in Australia are visited by a wide range of beneficial insects. These include generalist predators and specialist parasitoids which attack key pests.

One of the major objectives of the cotton industry is to reduce dependence on insecticides. This may be achieved by incorporating parasitoids into the pest management strategy.

The theme of the conference is "Meeting the Challenge". Amongst the many challenges the cotton industry faces are a host that relate to water.

This report is a summary of a partnership project, involving Australian as well as overseas co-operators, which was conducted to evaluate four Australian cotton varieties in terms of their utility value to the textile

The ovicidal and larvicidal activity of Tracer Naturalyte Insect Control and conventional ovicidal standards was investigated on Helicoverpa spp. under Australian conditions.

Cotton production in Australia is a high-value industry with about 90% of fibre produced being exported to Asia, primarily to Indonesia.

An understanding of likely impact of water stresses on yield and quality is important for developing optimum irrigation practices for cotton in the region.

A field experiment comparing irrigation treatments of 100% of predicted ETCrop applied with subsurface drip irrigation with 50%, 75% and 125% ETCrop was conducted at Warren in the 1999/2000 season.

Among the oilseeds, cottonseed is considered to be an important commodity because of its use in food and animal feed throughout the world.

The title of my paper reflects the overriding precedence of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the future of pest management for Australian cotton.

Australia-wide insecticide resistance surveying of cotton aphid populations identified pirimicarb, organophosphate, endosulfan and pyrethroid resistance.

A plant disease is an interaction between a plant host, a pathogen and the environment. Most plants are immune or completely resistant to almost all plant pathogens.

In June 1997 a Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) funded project was initiated in the Emerald Irrigation Area (EIA), for the development of management strategies to minimise off-site movement of pollut

The obvious symptoms of waterlogging response in cotton are leaf chlorosis (yellowing) and dropping squares & bolls.

Fusarium wilt of cotton has emerged as a major threat to cotton production, since it was first recorded in Australia in 1993.

The issues of succession planning does riot only relate to cotton families, or farming families for that matter, but is a worldwide issues for many small, medium and even large business where ever more than one family

Bioassays were conducted to investigate the effect of milk powder additives on the performance of a heliothis nucleopolyhedrovirus (Gemstar) and Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel SC) on mungbeans and cotton.
