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.

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.

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

This project sought to verify whether the Mein-Larson variant of the Green-Ampt infiltration equation could work for time-varying application rates using real-world moving sprinkler systems.

This project examined the impact of the expansion of Coal Seam Gas (CSG) production in the Surat Basin on

It is well-recognised that the pest status of Helicoverpa spp.

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

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 importance of black root rot in cotton has increased to the point that it can determine if a field could be planted or not with the crop.

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 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.

The project successfully captured interactions between cultivar (genetic) x season (environment) x field management x post processing (ginning) variables.

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.

Leaf traits of five riparian tree species common to cotton farms of the Northern Murray-Darling Basin were investigated to determine inter- and intraspecific variation.

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.

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.

A warmer and drier climate has been projected in Australia especially for the inner part of Australia (CSIRO, 2007) which covers the cotton production regions.

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.

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
