Situated in Narrabri, the heart of cotton country is the Australian Cotton Centre.

This project has part funded maintenance of HVI900 and FMT3 cotton fibre testing instruments in CSIRO’s fibre testing laboratory at ACRI for the 2005/06 season.

Travel and Conference Participation - Pacific Rim Conference on the Biotechnology and Environmental Impact of Bacillus thuringiensis, Victoria, British Columbia.

Cotton gin trash comprises of leaf matter, bark, soils and other matter that has been collected during cotton harvest and is removed from the cotton lint during the ginning process.

There is consensus both locally and internationally that the measurement of cotton grade i.e., colour, trash and grade, by the traditional subjective classing should be replaced with objective measurements by high vol

The CRDC project funds for “Operational Costs for Cotton Experiments” are used to fund cotton experimental trials at the Australian Cotton Research Institute (ACRI).

The 13th Australian Cotton Conference in August 2006 provided an excellent 'showcase' to

enhance the outputs from CRDC funded research to the industry. The largest gathering of

Cotton is one of many agricultural industries heavily reliant on nitrogenous fertilizers and water storages to maintain high levels of production.

WEEDpak, the Integrated Weed Management Guide for the Australian cotton industry was launched in 2002 in response to a rapidly changing weed management climate in the industry with the introduction of transgenic, Roun

To extend and promote the adaptation and adoption of new technologies into sound management practices in the Border Rivers region including the Macintyre Valley and Mungindi areas.

The cotton boll contains the seeds of the plant to which long, white fibres are attached. The cotton industry takes advantage of these fibres to spin yarns for textile production.

The purpose of the travel was to present a talk entitled “Wet Roots? High resolution groundwater depth prediction in the Bourke Irrigation District” at the 9th international River Symposium in Brisbane.

Experiments to establish the response of cotton plant to soil water stress under different soil types, climatic conditions and fruiting loads have shown that (i) the response of cotton to water stress is different on

This project focused on developing and testing best management options for key pests in Bollgard®II and conventional cotton.

The Australian cotton industry has had in place since 1997 a voluntary environmental management system - its Best Management Practice (BMP) Program - that has successfully overcome the limitations of a purely regulato

Microsatellite data collected over many of the grain growing regions of eastern Australia from December 2002 through to May 2005, has detected and described variable gene-flow years (i.e.

To achieve a greater understanding of the regulation of cotton fibre differentiation, more fundamental information is needed on the signals and mechanisms associated with fibre initiation.

This project has part funded field operation costs charged by DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri in 2005/06.

The ARLP, like the Rural Research and Development

Corporations is one of Australian agriculture's great

success stories. It works because it is a partnership,

Improved understanding of cotton plant response to water stress.
