Effect of water stress on 2,4-D damamaged cotton plants

Summer scholarship with Wendy Timms This project examined the quality of surface water and groundwater in the Quirindi-Gunnedah area of the Upper Namoi catchment in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin.

Eucalyptus coolabah subsp. coolabah (coolibah) and E.largiflorens (black box) are two dominant floodplain species of Australia's Murray-DarlingBasin.

The relative timing of pest and beneficial arrival in the crops, and how the landscape context facilitates or hinders colonization processes is thought to be one of the key processes of lower pest populations.

Natural pest control is an important ecosystem service to the Australian cotton industry.

The Australian cotton industry relies heavily on transgenic cotton expressing Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) toxins for the effective control of the major pest Helicoverpa.

With the introduction of cotton containing the two Bollgard II® genes (Cry1Ac and CryIIAc), the need for cotton producers to spray their crops with pesticides to control Helicoverpa spp.
