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

To purchase additional instrumentation which will enhance existing experiments such that the rigorous scientific measurement and comparison of the water use efficiency of transgenic and conventional cotton systems can

The focus of the project has been to provide support for growers and consultants of broadacre crops, as they attempt to implement IPM.

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

This PhD project aims to determine the mechanisms, by which soil sodicity impacts on the uptake of nutrients and growth of cotton crops, in order that soil sodium levels can be factored into crop nutritional managemen
