DAFF Entomologists have found a parasitoid of the Solenopsis mealybug (Phenococcus solenopsis) from cotton at Byee in southern Qld. This is the first known record of this parasitoid in Australia.

Dryland cotton is often grown using skipped rows because of variable summer rainfall.

Tocal College has been working closely with the cotton industry since 2006 to deliver skills development and accreditation programs.

Mobile devices are everywhere. Smart phones are more than just something to make calls with, and tablets have revolutionised the way that we work and play.

Soil organic carbon storage in four irrigated cotton cropping systems sown on permanent beds in a cracking clay with subsoil sodicity was determined over a 9-year period in a trial near Narrabri, NSW.

irrigated systems using solid, single-skip and double skip configurations to a fully irrigated solid crop Irrigations were scheduled using NAWF with the aim to keep the crop in the partially irrigated system flowering

To promote Australian Long Staple Cotton (ALS) large-scale spinning trials were carried out in China in late 2010 using Sicala 340BRF. Six major mills in China participated in the trials.

This season's results show the potential for damage to cotton crops from resdues of Hussar, Intervix, Spinnaker and Lontrel, with reductions in plant stand, seedling vigour, crop development and yield recorded.

During the last 5 years we have been researching the feasibility of cotton production in the Burdekin region of north Queensland.

The aim of this new 3 year project is to map the Australian cotton industry and to catalogue the extent of cotton research

About 1,000,000 tons of textile fibre wastes are generated each year in Australia, of which about 900,000 tons goes to landfill.

Water use is an important and well researched issue in the cotton industry.

Both neonicotinoid seed treatments provided ineffective control against resistant cotton aphid. Further use of these treatments against resistant populations may exacerbate resistance.

The Cotton Industry needs to demonstrate that its practices are sustainable (and communicate this to the community and government).

Future world meat and milk production has to increase to feed a population of 8-10 billion people within a few years.
