dc.description.abstract	This project has part funded field operation costs charged by DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri in 2005/06. More than 20 projects have been supported over the three years and all field operations have been done well through collaboration within CSIRO and between CSIRO and NSW DPI. CSIRO field research has addressed all important areas for yield and sustainability: breeding, disease resistance, soil and water management and insect management. Results of that research have substantially improved industry performance and value. Cotton breeding and decision support systems have been estimated to have added $5.2 to regional economies in the past 20 years. IPM research (by all research organisations) has been successful in substantially reducing the volume of insecticide used on cotton.	en_US
