A list of misconconceptions and an explainationabout groundwater

Groundwater is the term referring to water that occurs under the ground.Groundwater is a vast and slow moving resource that greatly exceeds the volume of other available freshwater sources.

The average amount of time a watermolecule spends at a particularstage during its journey throughthe hydrologic cycle is known as theresidence time.

Conducting on-farm Trials

If Australia is to maintain its reputation as a consistent supplier of high quality cotton it will need to ensure that the entire cotton pipeline from growing to ginning and warehousing to transportation and shipping

In 2001 a scoping study (phase I) was commissioned to determine and prioritise the weed issues of cropping systems with dryland cotton.

As there was a considerable contingent of Australian delegates to this conference, this report will focus on the past harvest sessions with a particular emphasis on fibre quality and ginning.

Recommendations to Australian Industry

The effects of rotation crops and stubble management on soil quality, carbon sequestration, deep drainage, nutrient leaching, yield and profitability of succeeding cotton in irrigated and dryland Vertosols was studied

This project supported the cotton industries Technology Resource Centre (TRC).

Final Report - Variety development and tillage systems for cotton production in the Ord Stage 2 development

In the 2004/05 season Bollgard II® replaced Ingard® as the transgenic variety of cotton available to Australian growers. It improves on Ingard® by incorporating an additional insecticide protein (Cry2Ab) to combat H.

In the mid-1990's the Australian cotton industry adopted Ingard®, a transgenic variety that contains a Bt toxin (CrylAc) which is specific to the group of insects including the target Helicoverpa armigera, but ex

Resistance is one of the greatest threats to effective pest control in the Australian Cotton Industry, both against insecticides as well as transgenic cotton.

This project has addressed issues that have emerged with the widespread adoption of Bollgard II cotton, and the resulting reduction in insecticide use.

The Cotton Training Coordinator project (5.1.01) was developed from the previous three year CRDC funded project: 4.2.04 AC (IPM Training Coordinator).

This project has delivered outcomes that address major agronomic and crop protection issues closely linked to the profitability and sustainability of cotton production enterprises in CQ.

In 2004, Helicoverpa armigera resistance management was a high priority issue for both conventional insecticides and transgenic Bt technology(Bollgard 11).
