At a July 2004 meeting of the CHCG&IA Research and Technical Subcommittee it was resolved that DPI&F research staff develop a strategy to meet the regional R&D needs of the Emerald area, as identified in a

ACSA requested that a breeder attend a meeting between ACSA and Indonesian spinners to explain the history of FiberMax cotton and how Australian cotton fibre is at least as good as FiberMax.

This project has part funded field operation costs charged by DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri.

The effects of rotation crops and stubble management (including the residual effects of past rotation crops) on soil quality, carbon sequestration, deep drainage, nutrient leaching, yield and profitability of succeedi

Ultra-narrow row (UNR) cotton, a production system with rows spaced less than 40cm apart, has been proposed as the ideal system for earlier maturity without substantial yield loss.

The performance of the first generation of transgenic (INGARD) plants released in Australia since 1996 was disappointing at a commercial level, despite the considerable reduction in pesticide usage required to grow th

Heliothine caterpillars and silverleaf whitefly (SLW) are the major pests of field crops in central Queensland (CQ).

Cotton R&D Corporation funds for the project entitled ‘Operational Costs for Cotton Experiments’ were used to fund cotton experimental trials at the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI).

The objective of the mission was to promote Australian cotton as being ‘clean and green’ following the BMP and EMS marketing initiatives amongst Indonesian traders and spinners.

In eastern Australia, Vettosols are widely utilised for the production of irrigated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) due to their inherent fertility and large water-holding capacity. However, irrigated

Well designed irrigation storages and water courses on cotton farms can aid in the removal of sediment, nutrients and pesticides from irrigation water and enhance their habitat value for native plants and animals.

Over the past 10 years the rapid uptake of IPM and transgenic cotton has allowed a dramatic reduction in the use of insecticides in cotton.

Insecticide resistance in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera has been one of the greatest limitations to successful pest control and economic cotton production in Australia.

The IPM Training Coordinator position was created to development, lead and, implement a grower focused short course relating to cotton IPM.

Salinisation as a consequence of irrigation can occur as a result of the application of poor quality (i.e. saline) water or mobilisation of salts from rising water tables (i.e.
