Does Spodoptera litura larvae flower feeding cause fruit loss? We’ll find out in 7 days! 90 reps and copped just as many locust to the head during set up! 🐛🦗CRDC CottonInfo @DAFQld #northerncotton #spodhunt

This week our CRDC Directors are visiting #cottongrowers across northern Aust to learn about their #research & #development needs. Yesterday, David Statham hosted the board & potential local #cotton growers at St Ronans Station in far north Qld #ausag #agchaoz #northerncottontour

Northern Australia cotton growers are encouraged to monitor and report any unusual symptoms in their crops, following the confirmation of grey mildew disease. If you see anything unusual on your farm, call the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline: 1800 084 881. cottoninfo.com.au/publications/g…

The final leg of the CRDC #northerncottontour: Kununurra WA. Directors met with local grower coop Ordco, #cotton growers Jim Engleke, Luke McKay, Fritz Bolton & Steve Buster, plus #researchers Paul Grundy & Sharna Holman to talk #research gaps & needs. #agchatoz #ausag #cotton22

Looking forward to an upcoming field walk to chat the why & what of a new CRDC Spodoptera litura in Northern Australian cotton project! Please join us to hear about the project and local R&D updates @DAFQld @DPIRDWA Northern Australia Crop Research Alliance CottonInfo

Say hello to your next pair of jeans! It may be in the tail drain - but still so exciting! #northerncotton CRDC CottonInfo

Almost 30mm of rain on the trials this time of year feels like it should be illegal, let’s see what today brings.. #dryseasonblunder

After 25mm of rain at the research station last week, ready for take two tomorrow! Excited to talk spodoptera litura under clear skies 🐛 #northerncotton #liturachat @DPIRDWA @DAFQld CRDC CottonInfo Northern Australia Crop Research Alliance

Colony counting is funnn! We’re assessing the decontamination efficacy of cleaning agents against devastating soilborne pathogens #Verticillium & black root rot. Stay tuned for updates! Spoil alert: 70% ethanol & 25% household bleach are among the best by far CRDC

Tell tale sign that your car’s been carrying containers of Spodoptera litura larvae for the past few months - and you’ve had some escapees? Found this little guy getting a tour of Kununurra CottonInfo CRDC @DAFQld #lituraontour

The flower waiting game…. Only a few more weeks to go till experiments can begin 🤞🏼🤞🏼 CRDC @DAFQld UQ Biology Programs 🐛

Nearly there! Flowers and some second positions as well 🙌🏼 🌸 CRDC CottonInfo @DAFQld

Farm biosecurity planning workshop in Dalby - great discussion on practices that mitigate & reduce risks! Interested in getting your farm biosecurity plan sorted? We can organise a workshop in your region or answer any questions! CRDC CottonInfo @DAFQld

Asking for a friend; when will the dry get here? Though, the cotton I planted last week is loving the 40mm we received overnight at KRS 🌱🌧️ CottonInfo CRDC @DAFQld

How do you 'nudge' growers to recognise the value in preparing for a #biosecurity outbreak? 🤔🦠💡 That's the question experts have posed to behavioural economics students as part of this year's #Nudgeathon, supported by CRDC through Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative. crdc.com.au/crdc-supported…

If only this moth trap could appreciate its spectacular view! #kimberley #clustercaterpillar CRDC CottonInfo

How well do you know the cotton industry’s exotic high priority pests? Fun fact: a song about the cotton boll weevil was a pop hit, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1961!@CottonInfoAust @DAFQld CRDC #biosecurity
