    The objective of NFF's trade strategy is to achieve a more profitable international trading environment for Australia's farmers. To realise this goal Australia has to expand its international lobbying effort for agricultural ...
  • Water Balance and Deep Drainage: Where does the water go 
    Silburn, Mark; Vervoort, Willem (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    Water-use efficiency of cotton production and minimising the impact of the cotton industry on the environment have emerged as issues of great importance. To improve these issues two major questions need to be answered: 1. ...
  • Measuring deep drainage and nutrient leaching under irrigated 
    Weaver, T; Hulugalle, N; Ghadiri, H (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    Electromagnetic (EM) surveys in combination with computer models, like Sodium-SaLF, and chloride mass balance models have been used to estimate deep drainage under irrigated soils with high clay content (Wills and Black ...
  • What are Damsel Bugs doing in cotton? Improving IPM Strategies for cotton 
    Wade, Mark; Zalucki, Myron; Franzmann, Bernie (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    The important role that beneficial arthropods play in cotton farming systems is increasingly being recognised across the industry. Many growers and consultants are now growing unsprayed 'nursery' crops to generate ...
  • Temperature extremes and cotton performance 
    Milroy, Stephen; Bange, Michael (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    Temperature plays many important roles in the growth and development of cotton. Low temperatures after sowing increase the time to emergence and reduce seedling vigour often leading to poor establishment, poor early growth ...
  • Cotton insect management in the Northern Territory challenges ahead and research to overcome the challenges 
    Ward, Andrew (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    Northern Australia has long presented a series of problems in terms of sustainable cotton insect management. This is exemplified by the failure of the Ord cotton industry in the early 1970's under extreme insect pressure. ...
  • Integrated weed management for Australian cotton production Systems 
    Charles, Graham; Taylor, Ian (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    The majority of cotton growers in the Australian cotton industry are familiar with an integrated approach to insect pest management. Researchers and agronomists often tout integrated pest management or IPM as the most ...
  • Heliothis Management, Spray Drift and in-crop deposition using LDP spraying techniques in cotton 
    Gordon, B; Nicholls, J; Talukder, F; Hassan, E; Woods, N; Dorr, G (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    Ground rig and aerial application treatments were setup to deliver endosulfan to young cotton using 'large droplet placement' (LDP). Both treatments delivered similar amounts of the product to the target, despite ...
  • An evaluation of unsprayed INGARD cotton strips as nurseries for beneficials in dryland cotton on the Darling Downs 
    Parker, Nathaniel; Lloyd, Richard; Scholz, Brad (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    The DPI has been evaluating unsprayed strip crops planted beside dryland INGARD cotton as nurseries for beneficial arthropods over the past three seasons. This work has included evaluations of lablab, soybean, maize and ...

    Nehl, David; Mondal, Anowar; Jhorar, Om (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
    Black rootrot of cotton has been observed in 98 per cent of the farms regularly surveyed by NSW Agriculture in the Macquarie, Namoi, Gwydir and Macintyre valleys. The disease has potential to cause up to 40 per cent yield ...
  • High Level Resistance to Ingard Cotton by the Cotton Bollworm Helicoverpa Armigera 
    James, B; Bird, Lisa; Akhurst, R (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)
