The project provided travel funding to assist enable six Australian scientists who have undertaken extensive research on pesticides on behalf of the cotton industry to participate in the Pacifichem 2005 Symposium 225,

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.

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

Transgenic (Bt) cotton varieties provide a substantial basis for economically and environmentally sustainable insect pest management within the Australian cotton industry.
