The purpose of this travel sponsorship was to attend and present the researchers findings at the 6th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS Federation of European Microbiological Societies), Maastricht, the Nether

Management of soil organic carbon (SOC) is necessary for sustainable agricultural development.

This travel scholarship provided funded for the researcher to present the major findings from the researchers PhD to the European Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2015.

The cotton industry invests significantly across the cotton industry and agriculture more broadly, though its leadership development programs.

The phosphorus dynamics of dryland cotton production require further elucidation, particularly the role of residual fertiliser P and mycorrhizal infection in yield.

The introduction of transgenic cotton within the cotton industry has allowed for increased yields due to

decreased losses from insect activities. The main pests which have been targeted through the genetic

The industry is entering a critical period in managing resistance to Bt-cotton.

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

The majority of Australia’s cotton producing soil is grey or black vertosols which have high clay content and are naturally prone to waterlogging following heavy rain or surface irrigation.

The glass transition temperature (Tg) is the thermal transition at which point a polymer goes from a firm glassy state to a more pliable form.

Dryland growers are looking to adjust planting dates to better utilise planting opportunities and available soil moisture and minimise the negative impacts of peak flowering during extreme heat events.

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

Growers within the Mungindi Cropping Group felt there was a need to identify profitable summer crop options to be grown under dryland conditions in the western growing regions.

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

The 6th World Cotton Conference was held in May 2016 in Goiania, Brazil. The conference is held every four years and was attended by 400 people from 40 countries.

The development of farming machinery and digital technology that is able to generate objective information about the status of the soil, water, crops, pasture and animals is quickly changing the way in which farming b

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

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.

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

Archived soil samples from 0-30 cm that had been collected between the 1993 and 2013 from seven different experiments run by the NSW Department of Primary Industries in Queensland and New South Wales were analysed for
