The CRDC project funds for “Operational Costs for Cotton Experiments” are used to fund cotton experimental trials at the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI).

An efficient and world standard computing system at ACRI has benefited all research

programs through their use in data processing, storage, statistical analysis, simulation

The purpose of the travel was to present a talk entitled “Wet Roots? High resolution groundwater depth prediction in the Bourke Irrigation District” at the 9th international River Symposium in Brisbane.

Where remnants of old native vegetation remain, small nocturnal insectivorous microbats have probably provided agricultural production services by reducing insect populations in two ways: direct predation, and interru

WEEDpak, the Integrated Weed Management Guide for the Australian cotton industry was launched in 2002 in response to a rapidly changing weed management climate in the industry with the introduction of transgenic, Roun

The cotton boll contains the seeds of the plant to which long, white fibres are attached. The cotton industry takes advantage of these fibres to spin yarns for textile production.

of water from below the root zone is the most elusive component of the water balance to measure.

Microsatellite data collected over many of the grain growing regions of eastern Australia from December 2002 through to May 2005, has detected and described variable gene-flow years (i.e.

Despite the long history of cotton production and research, little is known about the genes that control the initiation and growth of the cells on the outer surface of the seed that become fibres.

Two “Spray Drift Workshops” were held at Norwin Hall and St Ruth Hall on the 5th and 6th of January respectively.

To achieve a greater understanding of the regulation of cotton fibre differentiation, more fundamental information is needed on the signals and mechanisms associated with fibre initiation.

I believe both reinform nematodes and Fusarium (race 4) have the characteristics that could

potentially, affect the Australian cotton industry if they were to be introduced to Australia. There

Travel and Conference Participation - Pacific Rim Conference on the Biotechnology and Environmental Impact of Bacillus thuringiensis, Victoria, British Columbia.

The 13th Australian Cotton Conference in August 2006 provided an excellent 'showcase' to

enhance the outputs from CRDC funded research to the industry. The largest gathering of

Cotton fibres are differentiated single cells, originating from the epidermal layer of

the cotton ovule. Cotton fibre quality is determined by its length, strength and

Sarah Hood:This project provided for the engagement of a Consultant, Sarah Hood, to undertake an interim role of the Cotton Industry Development Extension Officerss in the St. George-Dirranbandi irrigation area.

The Cotton Research and Development Corporation have demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting research in water use efficiency across the industry.

The Beltwide Cotton Conferences are held every year, in early January.

Situated in Narrabri, the heart of cotton country is the Australian Cotton Centre.
