The Murray Darling Basin is Australia’s largest agricultural area and a major user of water for irrigation.

The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation (NPSl) and Irrigation Australia Limited

(IAL) engaged GHD Hassallto develop a framework for future irrigation research,

This project aimed to identify means to improve nutrient use-efficiency in Australian cotton production systems and to improve soil health/fertility.

Australia's water resources are in a serious state, both in reduced quantity and declining quality due to

As a by product of more valuable cotton fibre, cottonseed oil (CSO) in its current form is widely used in its current form in various food applications around the world.

The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation and its

predecessors have invested in irrigation research for nearly two

decades covering topics at the field, farm and catchment scales; and

The International Plant Nutrition Colloquium is the major international plant

nutrition conference, held every four years. This year the 16th IPNC, entitled

This report presents the experimental work and outcomes of the project that commenced in 2006 and was completed on 30 June 2010 (03DAN001).

In order to maintain its premium in the world cotton market it will be important for Australia

to extend its position as a preferred supplier of high quality fibre. Australian cotton is

The intention of this report is to provide the Australian Cotton Industry with information on the performance of the 2008 crop in regard to content and short fibre content as tested by the AFIS PRO instrument, finenes

The most common definition of short fibre content (SFC) is the proportion by weight of fibre shorter than one half inch (12.7 mm).

The following industry take home messages are a summary of practical findings pertinent

to growers and industry personnel:

This project has tackled the scientific challenge of predicting the key parameters of interest to the spinning mill manager from fibre quality measurements.

This is the third of our four reports for the Cotton Catchment Communities CRC project entitled: Innovative Regional Businesses and Options for Economic Growth in Cotton Communities. It has two components.

The objectives of the project were to (i) develop techniques for evaluating insecticide efficacy against solenopsis mealybug, and (ii) evaluate the efficacy of a range of insecticides that have potential to provide ef

A preliminary water balance was carried out for the Maules Creek catchment to assist in the establishment of an appropriate conceptual model for the aquifer-river system.

The Australian Cotton Industry has always been held in high regard by the

Australian and World Agricultural sectors due to its innate ability to focus on and

Expectations for industries to manage resources in a sustainable manner raise the question of how industries can demonstrate their sustainability credentials.
