The commonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.

My attending the conference and visit to Texas has provided an opportunity to update on recent US research and experience and has enabled me to meet a number of US cotton researchers.

The main reason I had applied for funds to attend the conference was to present a poster on aspects of my project so as to receive essential feedback on my research and also to collaborate with scientific experts in s

This travel grant (ANU5C) was in support of a postgraduate scholarship (ANU3C) granted for research into the molecular biology of gossypol biosynthesis in cotton.

Early in 1997, the Land and Water Resources R&D Corporation (LWRRDC) decided to experiment with the application of the process of foresighting across a range of its programs.

This project have been highly successful in raising the awareness of fusarium wilt of cotton grower.> and of the cotton industry generally.

This project aimed to improve technical capability to study the transport off-farm in i water and on sediments of pesticides such as endosulfan and members of the 'benzoyphenylurea (BPU) family.

These proceedings represent the outcomes of one of Australia's most successful R&D programs in natural resources management - minimisation of the impact of pesticides on the riverine environment.

Over the past two hundred years we have physically and biologically degraded many Australian streams.

The objective of this study is to examine the scope for further research irito certain quality characteristics of Australian cotton which are seen by many cotton industry participants as critical areas for improvement

The Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) asked the University of Queensland to undertake a study to indicate socio-economic areas for research for the cotton industry.

The objectives were to provide a reliable method for quantifying the Cry1Ac produced by transgenic cotton plants and to use this to examine the changes in Cry1Ac levels during a field season.

Aims * To evaluate treatments that inhibit or restrict microbial degradation to cotton when the seed cotton harvest is delayed by wet weather.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: * To use standard bioassay techniques to establish the particular resistance I susceptibility profiles of Australian native and B-biotype B. tabaci.

Project Aims: 1. To provide full time support for computer hardware and network services at ACRI, Narrabri. 2. Facilitate the connection of industry users to on-line services developed by the Cotton CRC. 3.

This study has investigated the role of esterases in conferring pyrethroid resistance in Australian populations of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa annigera.
