Little is known about the main predators of emerging pests in Bt cotton.

Internationally, sticky cotton is a major concern for the textile industry (Hector & Hodkinson 1989).

This document highlights the performance of Bollgard cotton in the Australian Industry during the 2004-05 season.

This booklet summarises the current capacity to report on land salinity indicators pertaining to the land salinity "matter for target" agreed under the National Natural Resource Management Monitoring and Eva

In the 1996/97 season the Australian cotton industry adopted an insect-resistant variety of cotton (Ingard®) that is specific to the group of insects including the target Helicoverpa spp.

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.

Managing sustainable cotton production is becoming more difficult with the ever-increasing demand on limited resources.

Over the past 10 years the rapid uptake of IPM and transgenic cotton has allowed a dramatic reduction in the use of insecticides in cotton.

Black root rot, caused by a soilborne fungus, was first observed in Australian cotton in 1989. The disease has developed rapidly since then and now occurs in most of the cotton production area in NSW and Queensland.

Several issues developing around Bt crops [chickpea, pigeonpea, sorghum] at ICRISAT. Considerable difficulties with achieving high expression and lack of clear understanding of deployment or management needs.

Salinisation as a consequence of irrigation can occur as a result of the application of poor quality (i.e. saline) water or mobilisation of salts from rising water tables (i.e.

Insecticide resistance in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera has been one of the greatest limitations to successful pest control and economic cotton production in Australia.
