In this project the performance of 40 centre pivot and lateral move overhead irrigation systems will be continuously monitored throughout the 2014-15 cropping year to ascertain the performance of the systems and colle

CottonInfo’s cotton nutrition

tour hit the road in February 2016, bringing 10 leading cotton nutrition researchers onto farms

across five cotton growing valleys.

The cotton sector is a leader in farm WHS because growers have used evidence-based information to develop practical and effective systems to manage WHS.

The Australian Rural Leadership Foundation was established in 1992 based on the premise that developing leaders in rural, regional and remote Australia could influence change across organisations, industries as a whol

Silverleaf whitefly (SLW) and green vegetable bug (GVB) are important pests in the Australian cotton industry.

The objective of this project was to further investigate the relationship between cotton cellulose’s crystalline structure and the fibre’s tensile properties, as affected by chemical, genetic and/or environmental effe

CRDC recognises that people are the cotton industry’s greatest resource. We continue to invest

in the capacity and capability of people through many programs, designed to build a skilled,

Middle East – Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) or B-biotype, commonly referred to as silverleaf whitefly (SLW) is an introduced pest of Australian agriculture, particularly cotton and horticulture.

The colour of cotton fibre is affected by plant genetics, environmental factors, harvest and processing conditions.

Department of Agriculture and Fisheries applied to purchase a set of 4 drive-on load cells that would enable the department to weigh the departments existing 2 row basket picker, commercial picking equipment (basket p

Verticillium dahliae is a highly destructive fungal pathogen that causes an annual global product loss in cotton of 20%.

Over the last 22 years the Australian cotton industry, through the CRDC and Cotton CRC, have actively invested in the dissemination of research information to growers and the broader community.

Within the national framework for biosecurity, all commonwealth and state governments and plant industries who are signatories to the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed (EPPRD) formally commit to preparations that inc

The Binnia Valley is located on the western end of the Liverpool Range approximately 70km south of Mullaley and 20km north of Coolah.

This research sought to determine why differences in dye uptake may occur between cottons with near identical fibre properties.

In response to many inquiries about EM38 technology, either from those who came to an industry field day (as part of the Irrigation Technology Tour Feb 2015) or who have spoken with someone else who attended, Departme

Over the past 25 years soil carbon sequestration has been assessed in many experiments.

An efficient plant biosecurity system is vital for protecting Australia’s $31.8 billion plant production industries and our unique environment from exotic plant pest threats.

The Burdekin region of coastal north Queensland and other areas of tropical Australia provide a significant opportunity for Australian cotton industry stabilisation and contribution to drought proofing.

A number of research trials have been planned for the 2016/17 season which require an effective and accurate measurement of yield soon after harvest.
