The Annual Operational Plan (AOP) - provides a detailed account of the specific developments and activities (including the budget) planned for the forthcoming year

The kit provides case studies and structured worksheets for you to record your own figures in the kit framework.

A national workshop was convened by National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) to establish the need for national standards for rrigated crop water balance and crop evapotranspiration (ETc1) fiel

Under conditions of reduced water availability, research over a number of years has indicated that optimum area to irrigate is that which allows around 5 to 6 ML per ha for the irrigated crop.

Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) and H. punctigera (Wallengren) are serious pests of cotton in Australia. These pests constitute a continually increasing production cost for most field crops,

The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii is a pest of escalating concern in Australia.

Gossypolis a naturally occurring sesquiterpene chemical and a product of secondary metabolism unique to cotton species.

In Australian cotton fields, the eggs, larvae and pupae of Helicoverpa armigera and H. punctigera are attacked by a diverse range of parasitic wasps and flies.

Key factors in managing transgenic Bt cottons for the future are to have an effective resistance management strategy. An essential component of any such strategy is to establish a resistance monitoring program.

Catchment, water resources and agricultural management are undergoing significant and difficult change in the Northern Murray-Darling Basin (NMDB).

One third of global food and fibre is produced by irrigation agriculture and it is predicted that this will rise by 50 % in 2040 (Rhoades et al. 1992 ).

Dryland cotton fanning systems are complex and usually comprise of a number of different rotational crops in conjunction with summer and winter fallows.

Currently, the qualities that are being engineered into cotton relate to crop management issues such as insect-resistance (Frutos et al.

The 4th Pacific Rim Conference on the Biotechnology of Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Environmental Impact was held in the Manning Clark Centre, Australian National University, from 11''' to 15'&qu

Irrigating cotton requires balancing excessive vegetative growth due to abundant water supply against limited yield potential due to water restriction.

The International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE) exists to promote the understanding of interactions between organisms and their environment that are mediated by naturally occurring chemicals.

It is anticipated that the IPM short course will develop sufficient interest, motivation and confidence in growers to implement appropriate IPM strategies.

The aim of the project was to provide cotton advisers and leading growers in the Hillston district (lower Lachlan Valley, NSW) with the latest information about soil assessment and management for the sustainable produ

Cotton wax is essential for the efficient processing of cotton fibre into spun yarn. It provides a lubricating layer that reduces fibre-to-metal friction and therefore fibre breakage during mechanical processing.
