The Australian cotton industry has been practising curative conventional insecticide resistance management and preventative Bt transgenic cotton resistance management for fifteen and two years now, respectively. The actual strategies are reviewed and reformulated at the end of each season at a series of industry meetings which include representatives of growers, consultants, researchers, resellers, agrochemical industry and aerial operators. The ACGRA (Australian Cotton Growers' Research Association) TIMS (Transgenic and insecticide Management Strategy) committee is responsible for coordinating this annual process for both strategies. The strategies outlined below are the result of the input of a large number of talented people, both within the TIMS committee but also throughout the wider cotton industry in general and their assistance and dedication is gratefully acknowledged.
