World cotton production for 2000/2001 cotton year (I'' August - 3 1'' July) is expected to be around 87-88 million bales. World consumption is expected to be around 90 million bales.

In a nutshell the answer to this question is profitability. Area Wide management (AWM) has worked very well on my farm.

Successful communications at a community level is not a new concept.

The cotton industry in Australia continues to be Tenant on insecticide and fertiliser inputs to maintain yields.

The existing harvesting technologies are systems which have been developed and refined over the past 50 plus years From the humble no cab, single row mechanical harvester to today's six row machines, technologies

The current cotton industry IPM guidelines promote the use of predator/prey ratios when making pest management decisions. This involves assessing the numbers of key predators within the cotton crop.

Blending of two or more different fibre types is of crucial significance to the textile industry.

Perhaps the best way to answer this question is to firstly define what is meant by an integrated pest management (IPM) program. Basically an IPM program should - I. Provide effective control of the pest complex. 2.

The use of plant growth regulators has been a common practice in the production of Australian cotton for at least two decades.

What are the potential Benefits Growers are Looking for when planting Cotton into Wheat StubbleΓ Since the introduction of effective knock-down herbicides, farmers all over the world have tried to use zero-tillage pra

The report describes, analyses and evaluates approaches to the assessment of river systems and conservation values in other types of ecosystem.

In April 2000, the RAAL R&D Program commissioned a Scoping Study to identify and scope the possible contribution of breeding, selection and biotechnology to develop new varieties of crop and pasture plants to help

Project objectives: To benchmark the distribution efficiency (DE) of the various components of a small, open channel gravity irrigation system and irrigation return flows from farms to the surface drainage system.

Objectives * To compare the distribution of Helicoverpa life stages on conventional and INGARD cotton varieties in relation to sampling protocols.

The aim was to develop and pilot a coordinated, national ChemCert Groundrig Spray Applicators Training course which meets the needs of groundrig spray operators (contract and farmer) in both cotton and grains industri
