The Central Queensland cotton production system is a highly variable tropical climate which is heavily influenced by tropical storms and weather patterns.

The advent of Bt-cotton led to a dramatic decline in insecticide use against Helicoverpa spp. in the Australian cotton industry.

A pilot project was initiated to employ four Aboriginal trainees to work on cotton farms in the Narrabri district.

It is important for ginners to monitor classing and leaf grade in order to maximize grower returns in terms of classing grade, and to reduce fibre damage.

The project has developed three practising certified myBMP auditors. There are currently no growers waiting for a certification audit.

A key tactic within the CRDC’s 2012-12 Annual Operating Plan is ‘Assuring industry capacity to manage the stewardship of biotechnologies and crop protection products’.

Building growers capacity to adopt and adapt innovation ensures the outputs of research have the greatest impact.

The native budworm Helicoverpa punctigera is an important pest of field crops in Australia alongside the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera, and both share a number of host plants. H.
