The purpose of this travel scholarship was to enable tone researcher to participate in and present results of Australian whitefly research at the 3rd International Whitefly Symposium in 2018, held in Perth.

Drought is one of these natural weather phenomena set to accelerate that causes massive losses to agricultural crops, increase land degradation, reduce clean water supplies and thereby inducing malnutrition and starva

The Upper Namoi Cotton Growers CGA showed particular interest in the water savings and water efficiency infrastructure available.

The introduction of insecticidal transgenic varieties into the Australian cotton market in the mid-1990’s allowed the industry to substantially reduce its pesticide use but resistance continues to threaten its efficac

Dr Ben Henley of the University of Melbourne was invited to present and participate as a panel member in the Australian Cotton Conference Cotton Conference "Climate Session presentation and Panel Discussion"

Cotton is now a significant crop in the irrigated Riverina region of southern NSW, Australia, increasing in area from approximately 39,000 ha in 2013 to 90,050 ha in 2018 and contributing from between 10-30% of Austra

In 2017, the National Farmers’ Federation announced a vision for Australian agriculture to

exceed a farm gate value of $100 billion by 2030. AgriFutures Australia commissioned ACIL Allen to:

Cotton has been looked to be a commercial crop in the Northern Territory on several occasions over the last 100 years, firstly as a wet season crop and more recently (in the last 25 years) as a dry season (winter) cro

International Collaborations between Australia and the United States in Cotton Disease Management: Comparison of isolation methods and media for quantifying Verticillium dahliae populations in soil.

A key challenge for the Australian cotton industry is to ensure that its’ reputation for high quality is maintained and year to year variation in yield is minimised.

This two-year trial aimed to explore soft management options for whitefly management in the southern valleys.

This travel Scholarship supported Dr Robert Mensah, who was invited by the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC)and presented the topic “IPM is Key to Insecticide Management: Alternative Solutions for Insecti

The Objectives of this project were to undertake research to enable:

Ultra-High Pressure Water Jet technology has a number of industrial applications in product manufacturing.

Australia’s primary industries share common risks relating to declining community trust.

In this project, a novel treatment was investigated to improve whiteness, brightness, softness and dye uptake of cotton yarn and fabric.

The Australian agricultural statistics system is in a process of evolution, but as yet is still in a far from ideal state. Data for the sector is often incomplete, out of date, and irrelevant or purposeless.

The incidence of chemical spray applications hitting non-target areas including crops in broadacre agriculture continues to be too-regular issue for agricultural producers.

The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development Corporations, and is focused on three main aims:

• Facilitating the development of digital technology in Australian agriculture.
