Australian irrigators are under increasing pressure to maintain the viability of their farm businesses in the face of reduced surface and ground-water allocations; increasing competition from alternative users (such a

Presented in this report is a new system of orchard soil management that overcomes coalescence.

Irrigation occupies a very small portion of Australia - 5% of tilled agricultural lands - but produces 30% of all agricultural production.

This project provided for the extension of the Vegetable Irrigation Scheduling System (VISS).

The major projects were High Yielding Irrigated Grains in Cotton Farming Systems (HYIGCFS) and Achievable Yields (AY).

This booklet is targeted at individuals and groups with an interest in grass roots community development.

Final report of high yielding grains project

Seedling establishment typically represents a significant bottleneck in the population dynamics of trees and shrubs in riparian and floodplain habitats of inland Australia (e.g.

BMP Border Rivers was a collaboration between the projects High Yielding Wheat in Cotton Farming Systems, and PhD Brendan Griffiths, and the private consultancy Griffiths Agriculture to extend research pertaining to t

This project has sort to identify the potential to measure the value added from training of on farm employees.

Wheat is nearly exclusively a dryland crop in the northern grains region of Australia (bounded in the south by Dubbo in New South Wales, and in the north by Emerald in central Queensland (GRDC 2010)).

Water in open channels is subject to high evaporative losses. Some 701 gigalitres of

water is lost annually through evaporation from channels in Northern Victoria.

A collection of all ‘Theme’ Reports generated during phase one of the National Land and Water Resources Audit (1997 - 2002) in a two CD-ROM set.

This report captures the key principles of sustainable irrigation at the farm scale. And is an update including recent research.

In this edition of Spotlight, we bring you a snapshot of how the industry is working together to alleviate the 'people shortage'.

Research on irrigated soils used for cotton production at the Agricultural Research Centre, Narrabri, over the past six years has identified several areas of concern.

Field work was conducted over the 1988/89 and 1989/90 cotton growing seasons in the Central Highlands of Queensland. Pheromone dispensers, specially formulated for P.

In January 1983, pyrethroids failed to give satisfactory field control of Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) at Emerald in central Queensland.

This study determined the genetic basis of pyrethroid resistance in Heliothis armigera and characterised those factors that lead to cyclical fluctuations in the frequency of resistance in field populations.
