This report summarises the findings from the CRDC funded project "Managing soils to avoid compaction problems in cotton growing". The project ran from 1989/90 to 1991/92.

This report presents the findings and recommendations arising from a review of dryland salinity R&D commissioned by a consortium of the three agencies responsible for most of the Commonwealth funding support for d

The project was intended to collect germplasm of two of the wild relatives of cotton, Gossypium australe and G. sturtianum from eastern Australia, and to initiate a seed bank of these species.,

CRDC project UNE15C provided for travel to Perth for The International Symposium on the Management of mycorrhizas in Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry.

A Magellan Nav pro 5000 receiver and external antenna kit was bought and tested. The unit has recorded the locations of soil pit and disease sampling sites.

Dr Daly attended the Fifth Cotton Conference, Broadbeach, Queensland, 12-14 August, 1992. She authored two papers for inclusion in the Proceedings: Daly, J. 5ndosulfan resiS1ance in Helicoverpa armgera, pp 353-368.

During the 1991-92 season, a 1 ha block of unsprayed raingrown cotton near Dalby was sampled for parasite activity in heliothis larvae.

Encouraged by a trial 1/2 acre result of 2.8 bales per acre from the 1990 cotton pick, Tandou has grown 70 acres in 1991 and 850 acres in 1992 installing one roller gin to process the 1991 crop and expanding the gin t

Recent research has indicated that two species of native egg parasitoids, Trichogramma (Trichogrammanza) carverae Oatman and Pinto and Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja, have potential as biological control agents o

This paper presents techniques used for rearing egg parasitoids on AGM eggs in an experimental facility at the QDPI Division of Plant Protection entomology laboratories in Toowoomba.

In surface irrigation systems we use beds rather than growing thee crop on the flat for several reasons.

This paper provides an overview of the Cotton Research and Development Corporation project DDI lL, which is in its final year at the University of Southern Queensland.

During the 1990-91 and 1991-92 seasons planting date experiments were carried out at Narrabri Agricultural Research Station using a range of cotton varieties.

There are, few parasitoids which specifically attack the pupal stage. This is perhaps understandable since pupae are not readily accessible, being in the soil.

Retained hills are now a well-established management strategy in the Australian Cotton Industry.
