George and nephew Dean Hull have been dealing with salinity since George first witnessed parts of the farm being affected by salt and waterlogging after buying the property in 1959.

The Environmental Water Allocation Program program aims, research themes and projects

Implications for local provenance seed selection and landscape restoration

Trial aim: Establishment of saltbush; perennial pastures; trees over drains. Saltland pasture mix: Tall wheat grass; puccinellia; Rhodes grass; NyPa grass; lucerne and trees.

Stable transformation is an essential tool for molecular biologists workingon non-model organsims.

Principal Researchers: Dr M. Bange, Ms. S Deutscher, Mr D. Linsley, Mr S. Johnston, Mr. D. Richards, Ms. L. Thakur, Ms L. Clancy

This project part funded the purchase of a new HVI to be used for testing fibre samples from CSIRO’s cotton breeding program as well as most research projects at ACRI and other locations such as Canberra and Kununurra

12 Main recommendations were made in consultation with panel and research institutes around the major future challenges for the cotton industry. These included:

*Drought and reduced research funding

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

In 2002/03 these chemicals were tested for Helicoverpa species control: Abrade® 50% a.i. (Grow Choice Pty. Ltd), Azamax® 1% a.i. (OCP Pty. Ltd.), BASF320 200g a.i.

Black root rot, caused by Thielaviopsis basicola, is a significant disease threat to cotton, especially in cooler areas and seasons.

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

This project has advanced the use of soil and tissue testing such that growers and advisors are now better able to optimise fertiliser use and have greater confidence in their management practices to provide sound nut

I fully appreciate the opportunity I have had to participate in such a Program and

hence I extend my thanks to my sponsors, Cotton Research and Development

I feel that the trip was particularly successful. In my own research I have found that diverse communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) actually survive in the cotton cropping soils at Narrabri.

Fusarium wilt of cotton is caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov).

Note: this project supported the operation of a fibre quality laboratory at ACRI to service most research projects. Specific details on fibre quality results are listed in those project reports.

This report is a result of the national extension/education review which was a flagship project of the Co-operative Venture for Capacity Building for Innovation in rural Industries(CVCB).The review sought a range of e

The salts of many essential plant nutrients are soluble in water and may be applied to plant leaves directly as a foliar fertiliser.
