-
(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 ...
-
(University of Melbourne, 2004-06-30)This project was designed to assess the potential of a plant derived antifungal gene (NaD1) for control of cotton pathogens. The NaD1 gene codes for a small protein called a plant defensin. Previous in vitro assays have ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov), is a serious disease of cotton in Australia responsible for substantial yield reductions. Since its detection on the Darling Downs in 1993, Fov has ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)Cotton fibres are the fastest growing and among the longest single cells in the plant kingdom. In the space of about16 days, these single cells can expand from a few micrometers to 3 cm in length. When the fibres stop ...
-
(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. ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)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. First reported in 1993, this disease ...
-
(University of Southern Queensland, 2004-06-30)Centre Pivot and Lateral Move (CF&LM) irrigation machines are gaining popularity within the Australian cotton industry, as they can provide high application efficiency and uniformity, low labour requirements, improved ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2004-06-30)Helicoverpa spp. are arguably Australia’s most important insect pests, costing the economy $200-300M annually. Significant advances in the management of helicoverpa have been made since the last workshop in 1995. A two ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2004-06-30)The project has made significant contributions to further our understanding of causes and consequences of climate variability and climate change. Scientifically it has resulted in the publication of 3 international journal ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)Temperature plays a critical and complicated role in the growth and development of cotton. The cool starts to the last three seasons in southern regions have again highlighted of the problems of cold shock and slow crop ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)Limitations on the availability of irrigation water in eastern Australia has created interest in the possibility of re-establishing cotton in the Oof NW Australia, where extensive supplies of water are available and there ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)Healthy soils are fundamental to the profitability and sustainability of cotton ecosystems. However, whilst soil fauna such as earthworms have been widely shown to be capable of markedly influencing soil structure and ...
-
(CSIRO Plant Industry, 2004-06-30)This project aimed to identify factors that could substantially influence Bt efficacy in transgenic cotton. Cry1Ac protein concentration in cotton leaves was measured quantitatively using a commercial ELISA assay. Previous ...
-
(University of Queensland, 2004-06-30)ABSTRACT The Pacific damsel bug, Nabis kinbergii, is a potentially important predator of key cotton pests. Aspects of Pacific damsel bug behavioural ecology, particularly feeding behaviour, were investigated to develop a ...
-
(University of Queensland, 2004-06-30)Trichogramma limit pest damage to Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) cotton crops by killing the developing embryo of their insect host at the egg stage, effectively reducing the number of emergent pests ingesting transgenic ...
-
(University of New England, 2004-06-30)The Australian cotton industry is heavily dependent on chemical insecticides for pest control. As a result, a number of environmental issues involving off-farm movement of these pesticides have been raised for the ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2004-06-30)The research into aphid bio-control in cotton has documented the agents attacking cotton aphid in southern and central Queensland, and provided an indication of their relative importance. When aphids are invading cotton ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2004-06-30)The emergence of multiple resistance to insecticides in Helicoverpa populations has had a significant impact on the production of most major field crops in Australia. This, coupled with industry's increasing awareness of ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Queensland Department of Primary Industries, 2004-06-30)Fusarium wilt is considered by many growers, ginners, consultants and other industry personnel as the most important constraint to sustainable cotton production to have developed in recent years. The discovery of Fov in ...
