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

Provide a one page Summary of your research that is not commercial in confidence, and that can be published on the World Wide Web.

Regular disease surveys have highlighted the changing status of cotton diseases over time and

provided valuable insights into the factors affecting their distribution and severity.

This project evaluated options for selective control of aphids, studied the field epidemiology of cotton bunchy top disease and determined the suitability of relay crops for aphid pest management.

Fusarium wilt continues to be an important constraint to sustainable cotton production. This project had a number of objectives to obtain data to improve the management of this disease.

CSIRO Plant lndustry's Cotton Management Support Systems Team (CMSST) develops and

delivers decision support systems (DSS) to improve the profitability and sustainability of

On 21st November, at Narrabri, over forty Workshop participants,

mostly ginners, developed and discussed the following introductory

Best Management Practice for the Australian Cotton Ginning

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important symbiotic partners to the majority of land plants. AMF depend on the plant community for photosynthate-derived energy.

Beneficial insects (generalist predators and parasitoids) occur within cotton agro ecosystems in Australia, but farming systems do not always encourage their survival.

Wincott – the Women’s Industry Network Cotton – has achieved all the objectives of this project.

A major challenge for the insect pest management is responding to resistance.The spread of resistance 'genes' throughout a population depends upon initital frequencies, dominance, fitness consequences and th

This report outlines the results of surveys conducted by of their

membership and cotton growers from across the production valleys in eastern Australia.

The broad aims of CCC CRC 5.2.03 ‘Delivering science to agribusiness: Smart approaches to cotton irrigation management’ were to; conduct irrigation research for emerging crop management issues and alternative cotton c

I would like to report on CSITC results for the 2nd pilot trial and the benefits to CCAA Classing Facilities to continue in this program.

The key purpose of this Primary Industry Health and Safety Partnership strategic plan is to guide the R&D activities supported by the Farm Health and Safety Joint Research Venture over the next 5 years in

I was invited to speak in a symposium on monitoring for resistance to Bt at the 2006 combined Meetings of the Society of Invertebrate Pathology and VIII International Conference on Bacillus thuringiensis (ICBt).

Meeting opened with Axel Dreiling’s presentation of results from CSITC 7001-1

round trial. I have attached following reports:

Australian cotton fibre is exported into a dynamic and competitive market and we need to ensure an ever-improving product to meet the demand from spinners.
