NORpak: Cotton production and management guidelines for the Burdekin and north Queensland coastal dry tropics region 2012

Benchmarking is a process of collecting data to enable comparison. It allows an enterprise to strive for improvement by comparing current performance to appropriate internal or external performance measures.

Water Smart Cotton and Grains is a water use efficiency project that improved knowledge transfer and built capacity within these industries to adopt best irrigation practice.

WEEDpak - A guide for integrated management of weeds in cotton .

The intent of this guide is to give cotton growers information relating the impact of known concentrations of a herbicide on crop growth, exposed at a given crop growth stage, on crop growth and development and final

The Australian cotton industry has encountered both record droughts and significant flooding since 2005,impacting on its production and profitability.

The work undertaken at CQUniversity Australia over the past decade suggests that drip and subsurface drip irrigation succumb to temporal hypoxia in the wetting fronts upon irrigation, and this irrigation paradox can b

The following data is a time series of both the Australian and World cotton industries. The information is presented visually as a series of graphs

Even though large scale planting of Bt cotton started a decade ago, consequences on a landscape-scale have hardly been studied. Helicoverpa armigera and H.

In the autumn of 2011, CRDC identified that the forecast of a second consecutive La Nina year represented a potential disease risk to the cotton industry that was linked to the over-winter management of weeds, ratoon

Attendance and presention of my paper on long-term cotton experiments and changes in soil organic carbon in Australian cotton soils at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) Assembly, Vienna, Austria.

Two ambitious objectives were set for this project.

This report covers the trip to attend the Sustainable Textile Leaders Roundtable (held 22/9), the ITMF ICCTM meeting (held 23/9) and the 2011 ITMA held September 22nd- 29th.

This research project is a documentation of a historical geography of the adaptations to changes over time, amongst cotton communities across Australia.

Increasing competition on supply of fresh water for irrigation by agricultural, domestic, sports and industrial users demands water use efficient irrigation methods and compliance with environmental regulations.

Australian cotton is purchased for a premium as it meets spinner's requirements on the basis of quality and consistency.

On New Year's Day 2011, the peak of the Cornet River flood in Central Queensland

broke long standing record levels. The alluvial lower floodplain of the Comet River is

Herbicide damage is an ever increasing challenge for much of the cotton industry due largely to:

. the increasing complexity in the farming system (with a wide range of herbicides used),

Gomeroi Country extends broadly from the Qld / NSW boarder region to Tamworth, Aberdeen/ Muswellbrook, Coonabarabran and Walgett. The Gomeroi people are the traditional owners of this Country.

The aim of the this collaborative project is to improve the long term viability of irrigated

enterprises in Western Australia by increasing their capacity to effectively assess
