MAGNET:

A practical stewardship tool for Australian cotton

Article: The Australian Cottongrower Magazine - February / March 2026

Bollgard® 3 has delivered a step-change in Helicoverpa management for Australian cotton, and the industry’s track record in stewardship is a big part of why it continues to perform so well. We also recognise that Bt insecticidal protein traits are always at risk from developed resistance, so protecting long‑term durability means using a mix of complementary tools in the right manner.

Magnet® Insect Attractant Technology is one of those tools – and a good example of the cotton industry building practical, field-ready solutions based on science.
