Over recent decades the extractive use of water in Australia has dramatically increased, leading to greater agricultural production and, in many instances, to the degradation of riverine ecosystems, loss of productive

Work commissioned by NPSI and undertaken by Matthew Hipsey from the University of Western Australia shows that night time evaporation is significant.

Final Report - Hydrological and geophysical characterisation of palaeochannels in northern NSW

After major rains and flooding in 1999 left some of their best-producing paddocks susceptible to dryland salinity, Bonnie Rock farmers Phil and Caroline Smith began thinking about how to get the affected land back to

Changes to Bollgard Resistance Management

Good natural resource management does not have to involve a great deal of extra work and time it should be incorporated into the overall management of the property. This is the philosophy of Richard and Julie Dowse.

This research scopes the current state of play of natural resource governance in the cotton industry in order to formulate sound parameters for a larger research proposal.

A raising of the quality base and increasing levels of discounts impact significantly on the profitability of dryland cotton.

The detrimental effect of aphid feeding on plant growth has been reported from various crops around the world (Atakan and Ozgur, 1996; Hille Ris Lambert, 1970; Kimmins, 1986; Lowe, 1967; Miles, 1987).

The paper is organised to provide some background on the cotton industry and its linkages to regional economies. Attention then turns to the tasks of building the economic capacity of cotton communities.

Any way you want to look at it, farm costs are up. I can't think of any input to our operation that hasn't risen in the last few years, some a little, others a lot.

For season 2004-2005, sixty-one percent of cotton aphid populations were Pirimor resistant but Intruder, Actara, Thiodan and Pegasus susceptible. Two-spotted mite was Agrimec, Comite and Pegasus susceptible.

There are significant price and profitability challenges for Australian cotton at present and likely into the future.

In 2005/06 the Australian cotton industry clocked up its 10th season of commercial insect tolerant Bt cotton production (i.e.

Presentation on the Boyce Cotton comparative analysis

The Australian Cotton Industry has been lauded as one of the success stories of Australian agriculture, noted for its technical innovation and its ability to recognise the challenges that confront it and establishing

Achievable paddock yields now frequently overreach the science and yields upon which our current crop nutrition practices are based.
