In WaterWheel 9 we particularly focus on _educational issues for irrigators.

To achieve consistency in data sets and to assist in interpretation and comparison of results, at the beginning of this program, the Land and Water Resources R&D Corporation (LWRRDC) requested that common protocol

The CRDC Strategic Plan 1998-2003 outlines CRDC's investment priorities and strategy for this five year period.

A workshop entitled _Microbial Indicators of River Health_ was held at Macquarie University, Sydney, on 31 July- 1 August 1997.

This project helped to identify the factors that affected the efficacy of transgenic Bt cotton plants to control Helicoverpa punctigera and H. armigera.

The results of disease surveys have indicated a declining incidence of Verticillium wilt and seedling diseases and an alarming increase in the prevalence of Fusarium wilt, black root rot and Alternaria leaf spot.

The objectives of the project were (I) to evaluate potential biocontrol agents for seedling disease control, (2) to evaluate potential biocontrol agents for the control of Verticillium wilt of cotton and (3) to develo

Aims: 1. Identify the most appropriate cotton plant types or varieties for dry season production in NW Australia based on characteristics of yield, quality and maturity 2.

Development of sustainable, efficient, integrated weed management systems for cotton production is the primary goal of the weeds programs (CRDC and CRC funded).

We have developed a reliable and cost-effective plan for deciding whether a crop has sufficient green mirids to warrant controlling them.

Aims : To utilise the Cotton Research Unit (CRU) and the Agricultural Production Systems Research Unit (APSRU) modelling capabilities to identify where and how cotton management can be improved and to deliver these ou

The silverleaf whitefly (SL W), Bemisia tabaci B-biotype, was first discovered in Australia in 1994. SLW is a major pest of cotton in many overseas countries and poses a considerable threat to cotton in Australia.

In early season growth disorder, or 'bacterial stunt', bacteria infect the roots of cotton and inhibit plant growth and VAM development.

The aim of this study was to (1) improve our understanding of predator responses to prey, predator/prey interactions and factors limiting their efficacy in cotton systems, (2) improve the performance of Envirofeast pr

The CSIRO cotton breeding program based at Narrabri has been very successful in developing varieties adapted to all cotton production regions in Australia.

The research had three parts: * Quantify the V AM fungi at depth in the soil * Determine the rate of colonisation of roots of cotton by V AM fungi.

This project was to provide the basic technical support at the molecular level for CSIRO' s cotton breeding program to develop new transgenic cotton varieties with improved agronomic characteristics.

To ensure the viability of cotton research into the ears of agronomy, entomology and pathology by NSW Agriculture staff at the Australian Cotton Research Institute

The aim of this project is to evaluate annually a large number of cotton breeding lines and cultivars for yield and quality characteristics in Queensland in collaboration with the CSIRO cotton breeding programs at Nar
