A series of trials for evaluating new cotton strains and cultivars in Queensland was conducted in collaboration with the CSIRO cotton breeding programs based at Narrabri.

The CSIRO Advanced Lines Trial (ALT) has been run cooperatively by CSIRO and DPIQ for 28 years and is used as the last stage in our breeding line evaluation.

The CSIRO Cotton Cultivar Trial(CCT) has been run cooperatively by CSIRO and DPIQ for 24 years and is used as the last stage in our breeding line evaluation.

The aim of this project is to evaluate annually a large number of cotton breeding lines and cultivars for yield and quality characteristics in Queensland in collaboration with the CSIRO cotton breeding programs at Nar
