Knowledge is one of our most valuable and intangible assets.

Submerged water plants (aquatic macrophytes) are a desirable component of shallow lakes and wetlands, and management activities should be directed to ensure their continual presence.

CRDC's Annual Operating Plan for 2004–06 (AOP): the second annual operating plan under the CRDC's Strategic R&D Plan 2003–2008.

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.

Cotton Bunchy Top is a disease of cotton that was first reported in the 1998-99 cotton season. Symptoms of the disease include shortening of internodes and petioles, .

This report aims to review the literature, particularly past and current cotton-funded research,, to:, 1. describe biodiversity and the role of biodiversity in cotton production systems;, 2.

List the project objectives and the extent to which these have been achieved., ?

Final Report as participant in the 2004 Australian Rural Leadership Program

The project has made significant contributions to further our understanding of causes

and consequences of climate variability and climate change.

The emergence of multiple resistance to insecticides in Helicoverpa populations has had a significant impact on the production of most major field crops in Australia.

Taking advantage of a GRDC funded trip to attend the Annual meetings of Soil Science SOC of America held in Indianapolis, I requested CRDC funds to visit laboratories involved in research related to Bt-crops and soil

This project was designed to assess the potential of a plant derived antifungal gene (NaD1) for control of cotton pathogens. The NaD1 gene codes for a small protein called a plant defensin.

Trichogramma limit pest damage to Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) cotton crops by killing the developing embryo of their insect host at the egg stage, effectively reducing the number of emergent pests ingesting trans

2. List the project objectives and the extent to which these have been achieved., 1. Monitor the diversity and distribution of strains of Fov in cotton growing areas in Australia.

The talks presented at the Beltwide cotton conference which will have the greatest impact on researchers, and the Australian cotton industry as a whole, will be the new transgenic insecticidal packages of MXB-13 from

The research into aphid bio-control in cotton has documented the agents attacking cotton aphid in southern and central Queensland, and provided an indication of their relative importance.

This project aimed to identify factors that could substantially influence Bt efficacy in, transgenic cotton. Cry1Ac protein concentration in cotton leaves was measured quantitatively, using a commercial ELISA assay.

ABSTRACT

Temperature plays a critical and complicated role in the growth and development of cotton.
