Deficit (VPD)) and reduced water availability as a consequence of climate change is likely to

affect cotton production. However, there had previously been little research to assess the realworld

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

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

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.

This Travel sponsorship suuported Dr Sharwood to travel to Lubbock Texas USA to meet with Dr Paxton Payton and Dr James Mahan at the USDA-ARS to begin collaborative research to determine the interactive effects of wat

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

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.

The cotton plant derived a large proportion of N nutrition from the soil organic pool (up to 70%) which is composed of N sourced from previous fertiliser application and the soil N pool that has built up over the mill

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

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.

In recent years, the high level of activity required on-farm for cotton growers has resulted in a lack of time to network, both within the Dawson Valley and with growers and contacts outside the Valley.

The incorporation of crop residues post-harvest can provide an important source of nitrogen (N) for the subsequent crop but can simultaneously lead to elevated nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.

Australian cotton production has fluctuated dramatically over the last five years.

The research conference brought together 230 delegates with 135 presentations across a range of disciplines as well as 7 keynote speakers.

The Cotton Australia Grower RD&E Advisory Panels function in providing practical advice on research, development and extension (RD&E) needs and priorities within the industry.

Agriculture is facing current productivity challenges in terms of managing pests and diseases, which

will significantly increase within the next decade. With a general decline in productivity growth and

Australian cotton growers are exposed to and manage a variety of cotton diseases.
