This book is the product of a project jointly funded by the RIRDC/LWRRDC/FWPRDC Joint Venture Agroforestry Program and the Cotton R&D Corporation.

What were the Project Objectives 1) Calibrate thiodicarb laboratory discriminating dose data w ith levels of control of Helicoverpa in the field.

3.1 Objectives: 1) develop methods and techniques to assess soil salinity and identify irrigation inefficiencies at the field scale 2) develop inexpensive methods and techniques to estimate groundwater recharge rate o

Update Canberra biotechnology group on the ecology and severity of fusarium wilt of cotton with a view to deciding whether novel genes being researched may be used in cotton

The aim is to house current and future staff for expanded research projects. The better accommodation will improve the facility for work from existing projects and also allow new initiatives to be undertaken

The aim of this study was to construct a microsatellite library for the pest moth Heliothis armigera and to use this library to investigate temporal shifts in population structure.

Objectives of the Study Tour For the duration of the study tour, I travelled with three other Australian Cotton Extension Officers.

A survey of cotton growers in 1992 (CRDC Project DAN 76C) showed widespread interest in the use of rotation crops, plus a need for more information about the benefits of legume rotations and the effect of rotation man

Plants respond to infection by increasing the levels of several proteins, known as PR (pathogen response) proteins (Ward et al., 1991).

The focus of this project included several aims.

The current, first edition of the Best Management Practices Manual was developed as part of the joint research program"Minimising the Impacts of Pesticides on the Riverine Environment'', which was funde

This report is based on data gathered with the assistance of the membership of Cotton Consultants Australia Inc. (CCA) and covers all major cotton growing regions in Australia.

The handbook is divided into two parts and nine sections. It is anticipated that growers will want to refer more frequently to sections on ground spraying technology, safety, handling and application.

Aim: To build a new glasshouse to provide a facility for basic research into plant I herbivore interactions

This document is designed to assist users to develop a spray and drift management plan for their own farming operation, and applies equally to aerial and ground applications.

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

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.

The project aims are: * Construction of additional cages to isolate field-collected strains of A. gossypii. * Establishment of additional base-line data.

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

PROJECT OBJECTIVES To monitor pyrethroid, endosulfan, organophosphate and carbamate resistance in H. armigera and H. punctigera. from all cotton areas and to refine resistance management strategies.
