Branding has become one of the latest buzzwords, and there are a number of brand developers out there who purport to offer businesses mystical solutions to building their brand.

The severity of diseases caused by species of Fusarium is often increased by high rainfall and cool temperatures (Neal, 1947; Sharma and Sharma, 2003; Wang et al., 1999; Young, 1947).

The cost-benefit analysis of 43 fields of cotton defoliated using at least one pass with variable rate chemical application, showed significant benefits for the farmers involved.

Black root rot is a seedling disease caused by the soilborne fungal pathogen Thielaviopsis basicola. It is a significant threat to cotton and other crops in Australia, especially in cooler areas and seasons.

The way the cotton plant responds to water stress on different soil types changes will influence its requirement for water and may change the irrigation strategy used if yield potential is to be achieved.

Black root rot (caused by Thielaviopsis basicola), is an important seedling pathogen in the cotton industry in Australia (Nehl et al. 2004).

Soil quality issues have been researched within a crop rotation experiment that started in 1994 at Narrabri. It compares three crop rotations that have included or excluded legume phases throughout this period.

Our research group set out to examine three topics: we documented the diversity of common microbes in cotton soils and followed this with research targeting interactions between microbes and seedling pathogens, we exa

Uptake of phosphorus (P) by cotton crops demonstrated an excellent correlation with lint yield.

Waste-stream materials can be obtained at little or no cost but their value in agriculture is limited by transportation and application costs.

This pilot experiment at Carroll and Narrabri investigated the yield and fibre quality benefits of application of foliar potassium, phosphorus and micronutrients to a high yielding Bollgard II and Roundup Ready variet

Soil moisture extraction under fully irrigated conditions was the same in BollgardII and conventional varieties, except where season length allowed later crop and leaf growth in the conventional variety.

BollgardII accumulated yield faster than conventional cotton due to higher retention combined with a very low proportion of tipped plants.

In recent years, a number of weeds have emerged as difficult-to-control in dryland cropping systems.

This study evaluates the physiological responses of fourteen cotton genotypes under waterlogged and non-waterlogged irrigated conditions in relation to leaf nutrient level, leaf colour, leaf photosynthesis, plant morp

Surface irrigation, especially furrow irrigation, is one of the most commonly used methods for irrigating crops and pastures in Australia and around the world.

The world of natural resource management is extremely dynamic, and is underpinned by the knowledge of farmers, resource managers and local communities, as well as that of scientists and research organisations.

In 2005-06 we began investigations comparing the yield and maturity response of 38 cm (15') row spacings and conventionally spaced cotton while attempting to manage the two row spacings for Pix and nitrogen manag

The objective of this study was to determine what if any biological activity occurred in H. armigera adults and larvae when exposed to extracts from a leguminous plant from Africa, herein referred to as Plant Y.

The skin or epidermis of a plant is its outward face to the World and buffers it from changes in temperature and humidity; protects it against threats such as pests and pathogens; helps it extract nutrients from the a
