This project followed on from the proposal CSP98C ‘Development and field testing of micro-computer cotton management packages’ which aimed to support the development of CottonLOGIC and other computerised decision supp

The availability of accurate and continuous weather and climate data is essential for strategic research, operation of decision support systems (eg.

The major challenge to sustainable use of Bt cotton is the risk that the target pests, Helicoverpa spp, may evolve resistance to the engineered toxins.

This is the final report for project DAN168C. This project ceased after 1 year of operation.

The expansion of the insectary facilities will enable the reseach infrastructure capacity of ACRI to meet the increasing demands of the Industry for entomology research.

The silverleaf whitefly is characterised by a huge host range, high fecundity, the ability to induce physiological responses in plants, transmit plant viruses, the copious production of honeydew, and an extreme abilit

The primary aims of the scoping study were to determine: * dominant and difficult-to-control weed species in each crop and fallow component of the different crop rotations used for dryland cotton production in the nor

Pesticides provide essential protection in the production of many agricultural commodities.

Since1988, CRDC has funded a series of projects focussing on the management of problem weeds (nutgrass, polymeria takcall, cowvine, budda pea, lippia and others) and weed management systems for the cotton industry.

An automatic flow analyser was purchased to analyse nitrate, phosphate, chloride and sulfate. The monies for the instrument were a combination of CRDC, Australian Cotton CRC and University of Sydney funding.

To help understand the underlying basis of the resistance to pirimicarb, and hence improve the chance of effective management, Dr Robin Gunning and Dr Graham Moores (Rothamstead, UK) did a preliminary screen on resist

The Australian cotton industry is one of the Australian's major agricultural

exporters and provides a significant export income for Australia. A wide range of

'Biodiversity' refers to the diversity of genes, species, ecosystems and ecoregions. Like other

sectors in the Australian economy, the cotton industry has a duty of care to ensure its

Key factors in managing transgenic Bt cottons for the future are to have an effective resistance management strategy. An essential component of any such strategy is to establish a resistance monitoring program.

The aim of this report is to provide a picture of how IPM is working on the ground, by giving an understanding of the thoughts of cotton growers and consultants in relation to IPM.

The intent of the project was to travel to the 2003 Beltwide cotton conference in Nashville, USA.

The report explains and justifies the value of material flow analysis as a method to inform natural resource management at the regional level.

This Technical Guideline Update restates the ecological values associated with wood in streams (upland and lowland), with additional emphasis on associated floodplains and wetlands.

This publication forms part of the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation Irrigation Insights series.

This project was instigated to assess whether the National Riparian Lands R&D Program 'Demonstration and Evaluation' Projects (NRLPD&EP) of Land & Water Australia (LWA) have built 'capacity&
