Weather Station Upgrades: The Darling Downs Cotton Growers Inc (DDCGI), and individual growers established 21 weather stations between the period 1996-1998, to provide growers with localised weather information to ass

Sustainable weed management in cotton farming systems is critical to the long-term production of profitable, high yielding cotton crops.

To demonstrate the influence of the diesel engine’s speed over the energy consumption and performance of large lateral move (LM) irrigation machines, 10 field tests were conducted on four LMs on the Darling Downs of S

Each year, Crop Consultants Australia - with support from CRDC - conduct a qualitative survey of cotton consultants regarding their practices and attitudes, as well as those of their cotton grower clients.

CRDC’s role is to invest in RD&E on behalf of cotton growers and the government, with the outcomes boosting the productivity and profitability of our industry.

This project aimed to provide ecological information on an important pest species to underpin strategies for resistance management in Bt cotton.

The summer edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, reports on the achievements of research and innovation, and takes a look at the future direction of cotton RD&E.

This project has conducted a nation-wide survey to better understand Australian producers’ needs and issues in relation to agricultural data.

Global warming is surmised to result in major increases in climatic variability (i.e.

The potential economic gains for the Australian farm sector and associated supply chains arising from the adoption of decision agriculture will be estimated and recommendations made for business models and strategies

Fibre elongation contributes directly to yarn elongation and toughness, which are important particularly in fine count yarn spinning and realised yarn quality.

Yarn hairiness control has become a “holy grail” of research in ring spinning. A significant amount of research effort has been devoted to the study of yarn hair generation and its control.

Weeds are a significant threat to all farming systems in NSW.

Previous research has highlighted that glyphosate resistant and tolerant weeds are increasing in cotton farming systems.

The CRDC Board responded to Forest Hill's Independent Performance Review Report in January 2019, welcoming the overall findings as an endorsement of CRDC’s high level of organisational performance and valuing the reco

CRDC undertakes an annual survey of cotton growers to gather information about farming practices and growers’ views on research, development and extension.

The autumn edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, looks at important risk issues related to picking.

This project was undertaken to investigate how dryland cotton production and its place in the farming system could be improved, particularly with the release of Bollgard® 3 varieties.

The Australian Cotton Comparative Analysis provides the industry benchmark for the economics of cotton growing in Australia.
