Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov), is a destructive disease of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) in almost all cotton producing countries of the world.

The Australian Cotton Integrated Pest Management grower short course was

conceptualised and developed from a recommendation presented in a commission

The primary purpose of DAQ 122C was to investigate alternative pest management options under central Queensland conditions with a view to supporting and expanding the role of area wide management.

An efficient and world standard computing system at ACRI has benefited all research programs through their use in data processing, storage, statistical analysis, modelling and the development of end-user packages.

Genomic technologies are set to revolutionise plant biology and we have already seen significant advances in the rate of gene discovery and new ideas engendered by the sequencing of genomes from two model plants, Arab

This pilot study involved the processing of five bales of cotton, representing

three varieties i.e. Sicala 3508, Sicala 60BR and Sicot 289BR, into ringspun

International Soil and Tillage Research Organisation (ISTRO).

Research and development programs are under increasing pressure to demonstrate and

enhance their impacts towards the triple bottom lines of environment, economic and social

A one-year scoping study determined and prioritised the important weed issues of cropping systems with dryland cotton (DAQ117C).

ACSA requested that a breeder attend a meeting between ACSA and Indonesian spinners to explain the history of FiberMax cotton and how Australian cotton fibre is at least as good as FiberMax.

Electrical resistivity imaging has been validated as a technique that can show the two dimensional movement of water through the soil profile after the application of irrigation water.

This project validated and enhanced the use of the BDI as a measure of the relative disruption

(‘softness’/’hardness’) of the insecticide regimes applied to cotton fields. The project focused on two

Well designed irrigation storages and water courses on cotton farms can aid in the removal of sediment, nutrients and pesticides from irrigation water and enhance their habitat value for native plants and animals.

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum (Fov) was first identified in Australia in 1993, and as

since become one of the most significant threats to the country's thriving cotton industry. The

Number of eggs and % Hatch is from collections from all crops supplied for Bt and

Conventional Chemistry Resistance monitoring.

Since the inaugural Field to Fabric course in August 2005 the course has been

presented 3 times in 2006 and twice in 2007. Feedback from participants has been

Growers whose water supply is critically low and are experimenting with novel ways to grow cotton with this limited water.

In Australia, the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, has a long history of resistance to

conventional insecticides, Transgenic cotton (expressing Bt toxin Cry1Ac) has been grown

This project has part funded field operation costs charged by DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri.

Cotton R&D Corporation funds for the project entitled ‘Operational Costs for Cotton Experiments’ were used to fund cotton experimental trials at the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI).
