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 project had objectives of: 1 studying the risk of damaging soil, and by how much, by tillage and traffic at various moisture contents; 2 testing funher the 11critical moisture" concept developed under a prev

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 project studied the factors responsible for frequency changes in endosulfan resistance.in populations of H. armigera in cotton.

Despite the broad title, the project has concentrated on transverse dimensions of fibres, notably maturity in all of its aspects.

A February 1993 meeting of the Chief Executives from the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRCD), Rural Water Corporation of Victoria, NSW Department of Water Resources and Queensland De

This grant provides foods for the annual maintenance contract for the Vax 4000 computer system at NARS. The system has been installed and operational since October 5, 1990.

Aims: 1 * Develop a simple mite management package using data collected relating mite infestations to cotton yield loss. * Complete development and validation of functional sampling procedures.

A self propelled high powered; high clearance insecticide sprayer is now available to cotton growers. As with all products development continues.

Aims: (i) To evaluate the pest resistance of cotton cultivars bearing different combinations of morphological and allelochemical resistance factors in field experiments.

Objectives To enhance technology transfer between researchers, consultants and farmers and to develop approptiate commercial technology for farmer adoption.

Objectives 1. To develop a method for the measurement of mass flow of anhydrous ammonia fluid. 2.

Growing other crops in rotation with cotton appears to offer the best prospect for long term viability of the cotton industry.

This Project was a preliminary study to develop an R&D program into CT based farming systems for the dryland cotton industry.

In June 1993, Mr Neville Gould, Team Leader, Agricultural Engineering, NSW Agriculture, Trangie travelled to the USA for 30 days to investigate for the Australian cotton industry the issues of anhydrous ammonia applic

In 1990, a Cotton Research and Development Corporation funded project was begun, in cooperation with the Industry Hail Scheme Insurers, to evaluate the growth response after hail damage, of cotton varieties currently

The objectives of this project were to evaluate the potential of larval parasitoids, principally Microplitis, for use in biological control programs against Helicoverpa spp.

OBJECTIVES 1. To establish Helicoverpa species composition in the Macquarie Valley and to relate the data to that from other cotton growing areas in NSW and Queensland. 2.

An insecticide resistance management (IRM) strategy was introduced into the summer rainfall cropping areas of eastern Australia in the 1983/84 season.

Project Objective: A new project with the objectives of: * to supply equipment to accurately weigh cotton from field trips.
