-
(CSIRO Textile and Fibre Technology, 2003-06-30)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. This is of particular importance to the Australian industry ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2001-06-30)The research into shield bug pests addresses an emerging issue resulting from a reduction in the use of disruptive insecticide sprays on cotton, especially Ingard cotton. Shield bugs have caused serious losses on some ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2004-06-30)Stinkbugs are emerging pests in cotton. In conventional cotton the use of broad-spectrum insecticides to kill Helicoverpa spp. effectively controlled the stinkbugs, but with the introduction of transgenic Bt cotton the use ...
-
(NSW Agriculture, 2003-06-30)To help understand the underlying basis of the resistance to pirimicarb, and hence improve the chance of effective management, Dr Robin Gunning and Dr Graham Moores (Rothamstead, UK) did a preliminary screen on resistant ...
-
PhD: Evolution of viral diversity and virus ecology in the management of resistance to bipesticides (Queensland University of Technology, 2017-07-30)The Nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV) are dsDNA invertebrate-specific obligate pathogens of the insect orders Lepidoptera, Hymenopteran and Dipteran belonging to the family Baculoviridae (Baculovirus). An NPV consists of a ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2003-06-30)The cotton industry spends about $8M on P fertilizers and about $5M of K fertilizers. This indicates the extent of recognised P and K deficiency. It is envisaged that many cotton-growing soils are nearing deficient status, ...
-
(University of New England, 2016-06-30)The phosphorus dynamics of dryland cotton production require further elucidation, particularly the role of residual fertiliser P and mycorrhizal infection in yield. Incitec Pivot Ltd., in collaboration with independent ...
-
(CSIRO, 2001-06-30)Quantitative Bt ELISA assays have only recently become available as a research tool. This research will not only assist cotton breeders in identifying lines which possess more Bt is present, but indicate where agronomic ...
-
(The University of Sydney, 2015-06-30)Australia contributes approximately 12% of the world’s total cotton production, and is the third largest exporter of cotton fibre. Most Australian cotton is cultivated in New South Wales, (70% of the total production), ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2006-06-30)Options for increasing yield and water use efficiency in high retention Bollgard II cotton were identified from research that studied the growth and development of Bollgard II and conventional cotton varieties. Options ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2003-06-30)Fov is the causal organism of Fusarium wilt disease in cotton. This disease is of serious concern to the cotton industry in terms of potential yield loss. Existing CRDC projects in progress to identify genes associated ...
-
(University of Queensland, 2003-06-30)Problems associated with pesticide application on the Darling Downs have not been solved by conventional strategies and alternate chemicals. Associated with these chemical use patterns is the development of resistance to ...
-
(University of Queensland, 2005-06-30)The UQ35c twelve-month project continued on from the UQ32c research covering the Helicoverpa armigera microsatellite survey of field collections over twelve of the major cotton growing regions during the 2003-2004 season. ...
-
(University of New England, 2015-06-30)Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans get from the environment. Many ecosystem services are relevant to cotton production (e.g. natural pest control, bioremediation of residues, water filtration, spray drift ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2001-06-30)The fibre length and cellulose content are the two determinates of fibre yield and quality. The rapid elongation process and massive cellulose biosynthesis in fibre cells must depend on sufficient supply of photoassimilate. ...
-
(The Australian National University, 2002-06-30)Gossypolis a naturally occurring sesquiterpene chemical and a product of secondary metabolism unique to cotton species. Gossypol is important to the cotton plant because it provides a degree of natural resistance against ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)Fusarium wilt disease has the potential to cause significant yield losses and the removal of some areas from cotton production. It is therefore likely to impact on the long-term sustainability of the cotton industry. ...
-
Post Doctorate: Emma Cottage - Mechanisms insecticide resistance in the cotton aphid, Aphis Gossypii (NSW Agriculture, 2003-06-30)Profenofos resistance is due to esterase mediated metabolism. Preliminary research suggests that an insensitive acetylcholinesterase is also involved. However, during the course of these experiments, the resistant strain ...
-
(University of Adelaide, 2004-06-30)Genetic engineering to confer useful agronomic and fibre traits will lower the cost and time required for producing improved cotton varieties and will promote environmentally-friendly farm practices. Genetic improvement ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2006-06-30)The subject of this thesis "The effect of cereal stubble on Helicoverpa armigera(Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) activity in early season cotton(Gossypium spp.)" is a direct result of consultation with the Cotton Research ...
