A variety of proteins were purified from cotton seeds and were analysed by amino acid sequence determination (automated Edman degradation) and by state-of-the-art electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESMS).

This project aimed to estimate the capacity of Helicoverpa armigera to develop resistance to INGARD cotton, to examine the possibility of cross-resistance to other Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins and to elucidate t

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

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.

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.

Objectives The dynamics of beneficial insect communities in cotton agroecosystems and the role of alternative crops in producing natural enemies for cotton * To quantify the seasonal phenology and abundance of key ben

Nine insecticide trials were carried out for control of silverleaf whitefly. The evaluation of control performance was greatly hampered by the considerable variation in whitefly numbers.

The review was initiated by the Australian Cotton Industry Council in response co grower concerns and m part dissatisfaction with aspects of rhe present classing system.

This publication outlines the current knowledge of wetland resources within the specified WA region and then identifies key current issues in wetland management.

The National Climate Variability R&D Program aims to work with the Australian agricultural sector to develop and implement profitable and sustainable management strategies which prepare the sector to respond to th

Indigenous Australian Gossypium species possess a number of attributes that could be used to improve the profitability of cotton cultivation in Australia (see CSP47C & CSP85C).

This edition of RipRap is dealing with the difficult management issue of stream bank stability

The DroughtPlan project was funded under the LWRRDC-managed National Climate Variability R&D Program, and also supported by the Meat Research Corporation and the International Wool Secretariat, as well as the cont

This report has been commissioned by the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRDC) as part of an initiative to encourage research into groundwater problems facing Australia.

Overall, the project has demonstrated the following highlights: * The okra leaf trait was associated with superior field yield under raingrown conditions.

The objectives of this project were: 1. To identify candidate pathogens for the biocontrol of purple nutsedge ( Cyperus rotundus). 2.
