(1997-06-30)objectives: 1. Document current knowledge on the water use efficiency of Australian cotton and comment on potential for improvement. 2. Compare Australian cotton with other irrigated crops in Australia and cotton in other ...
-
(1997-06-30)The Analysis of cotton production in the Bourke district project will fonn part of a co-funded project to develop a land and water management plan for the Bourke irrigation district. The CRDC-funded portion will provide ...
-
(1997-06-30)This project aims to provide fibre quality assessments for the Australian cotton breeding program and related projects by the operation and maintenance of a fibre testing laboratory at ACRI. The project supports the ...
-
(???)Instrument fibre tests indicate that there is no difference between the fibre from transgenic Bt cotton and non transgenic. However there is assumed concern from the spinning and textile sector. To overcome any doubts, and ...
-
(1997-06-30)In this study we aim to assess the current water use efficiency of the industry by analysing the water use data currently being collected by producers. Data from approximately twenty producers will be analysed. The properties ...
-
(1997-06-30)Objectives I. Continue to develop entomoLOGIC and related management packages incorporating the latest research results and management practices. 2. Validate entomoLOGIC and demonstrate IPM systems on a commercial scale. ...
-
(1997-05-31)This report is a summation of the background, objectives, and acltievements of the research project funded by CRDC grant CSP4 7C. We would like to emphasize four particularly notable Q achievements. * We assessed the risk ...
-
(1997-06-30)A strip tiller machine was assembled and used prior to cotton planting this season. Some practical problems associated with heavy clay soils showed up, and are being addressed. Results from initial trial work were masked ...
-
(1996-12-31)The Bourke Sustainable Irrigated Cropping Systems project (B.S.I.C.S.P) was implemented in 1993-94 as an initiative of the Bourke Cotton Growers association and the Bourke Cotton Growers Landcare group. The project received ...
-
(1997-06-30)This project aims to support numerous cotton research projects by enabling the production of experimental crop at ACRI. Experiments cover the disciplines of breeding, agronomy and entomology conducted by staff of CSIRO ...
-
(1997-06-30)The aim of this project is to generate and evaluate transgenic cotton plants that are expected to have improved tolerance to fungal disease, in particular Verticillium and Fusarium wilts.
-
(1997-06-30)Research project summary: Field experiments at ACRI Narrabri were devised to evaluate summer and winter growing legumes with respect to the amounts of atmospheric N2 fixed using the I SN natural abundance technique. ...
-
(1996-12-31)The aim of this project was to capitalise on work completed during tenure of a CRDC/ APRA PhD Scholarship1 * Five gene products (messenger [m]RNAs) were isolated which are expressed at high levels in Si okra 1-2 cotton ...
-
(1996-12-31)Twelve cotton defence-response genes were analysed to determine if there is any similarity between the response of the plant to fungal pathogens or symbionts. The defence-response genes representing the enzymes phenylalanine ...
-
(1997-06-30)The objectives of this project were: 1. To identify candidate pathogens for the biocontrol of purple nutsedge ( Cyperus rotundus). 2. To determine the potential of candidate pathogens as augmentive and inundative biocontrol ...
-
(1996-12-31)This thesis assessed the effectiveness of a formulation of a chemical activator in bringing about systemic resistance to diseases in cotton in the light of reports of its action in other plants.
-
(1996-12-04)The ACGRA discussed what the goals, objectives and directions it should be following in terms of research into soils, tillage and engineering issues. It was felt that agronomy and soil-tillage engineering issues should be ...
-
(1997-06-30)This report presents the results of a six month investigation into the need for and feasibility of developing an automatic moisture measuring system for cotton. The report was commissioned by the CRDC in response to a ...
-
(1997-06-30)Transportable weigh scales are currently located at Narrabri (NSW Ag.) and Dalby (QDPI). These units are very useful for measuring yields from trials located on cotton farms. This season the Narrabri set of scales was ...
-
(1996-09-30)The major aims of this trip were to attend three international conferences in areas of entomology, insect pathology and virology relevant to the long-term biological control of major cotton pests like Helicoverpa armigera
