Fusarium wilt of cotton (Gossypium. spp. ) is caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum schletend f.sp vasinfectum (Atk) Snyder and Hansen (Fov).

Degree days are commonly used by industry and researchers to estimate expected crop development. This assumes that cotton's potential development is largely a function of temperature.

Insecticide application to control heIiothis on cotton is rapidly becoming a major production cost for field crops, particularly cotton, in central Queensland (CQ).

Cotton is one crop with an opportunity for a true integrated weed management strategy to be implemented.

It is necessary to research multiple stresses on cotton as plants are generally exposed to many stresses in the field, and interactions between them are largely unpredictable.
